Study visually captures a hard truth: Walking home at night is not the same for women (phys.org)

An eye-catching new study shows just how different the experience of walking home at night is for women versus men.

The study, led by Brigham Young University public health professor Robbie Chaney, provides clear visual evidence of the constant environmental scanning women conduct as they walk in the dark, a safety consideration the study shows is unique to their experience.

The methodology also allows lots of people to participate (600 in the study). If they had to actually walk outside then it would almost certainly reduce the number of participants they were able to have.

A VR type thing could be good

While it increases the N of the study, I'd say it severely cripples the quality of those results. Sometimes less is actually more.
