Background: Geographical environments influence people's active mobility behaviors, contributing to their physical and mental health. The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in experimental research can unveil new insights into the relationship between exposure to geographic environments and active mobility behaviors. This systematic review aims to (1) identify environmental attributes investigated in relation with walking and cycling, using VR, (2) assess their impacts on active mobility behaviors and attitudes, and (3) identify research gaps, strengths and limitations in VR-based experimental research.

- - COVID-19 affects breathing and voice, producing distinctive audio signatures that may be used for screening the virus.
- - The article presents a dataset of voice, cough, and breathing recordings from both infected and non-infected individuals, demonstrating the potential of using cough patterns for detection.
- - Preliminary results show promising accuracy (88.52%), sensitivity (88.75%), and specificity (90.87%) for identifying COVID-19 through audio analysis, alongside an exploration of key acoustic features affected by the virus.
