However, with the ongoing trend of population ageing, understanding the elderly\u2019s acceptance of such new technologies has become a focal point in both academic and industrial discourse. Despite the attention it garners, there exists a gap in understanding the attitudes of older adults towards VR adoption, along with evident needs and barriers within this demographic. Hence, gaining an in-depth comprehension of the factors influencing the acceptance of VR technology among older adults becomes imperative to enhance its utility and efficacy within this group. This study employs renowned databases such as WoS and Scopus to scrutinize and analyze the utilization of VR among the elderly population. Utilizing VOSviewer software (version 1.6.20), statistical analysis is conducted on the pertinent literature to delve into research lacunae, obstacles, and recommendations in this domain. The findings unveil a notable surge in literature studies concerning VR usage among older adults, particularly evident since 2019. This study documents significant journals, authors, citations, countries, and research domains contributing to this area. Furthermore, it highlights pertinent issues and challenges surrounding the adoption of VR by older users, aiming to identify prevailing constraints, research voids, and future technological trajectories. Simultaneously, this study furnishes guidelines and suggestions tailored towards enhancing VR acceptance among the elderly, thereby fostering a more inclusive technological milieu. Ultimately, this research aspires to establish an encompassing technological ecosystem empowering older adults to harness VR technology for enriched engagement, learning, and social interactions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers13100262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,14]],"date-time":"2024-10-14T05:47:58Z","timestamp":1728884878000},"page":"262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Bibliometric Analysis Exploring the Acceptance of Virtual Reality among Older Adults: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5605-2198","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pei-Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Visual Informatics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2267-8328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nazlena Mohamad","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Visual Informatics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5363-6219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mahidur R.","family":"Sarker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Visual Informatics, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi 43600, Selangor, Malaysia"},{"name":"Universidad de Dise\u00f1o, Innovaci\u00f3n y Tecnolog\u00eda, UDIT, Av.
