Ocupational therapy using Virtual Reality
Resumo
This work describes a system for occupational therapy based on a traditional pedal system instrumented with a simple sensor for providing the rotating speed value and Oculus Rift headset and their hand trackers all to be used interactively with a Virtual Reality application. A virtual city is used as the environment to be explored by the user. The present level of development is described as well as the types of stimulations it allows, some project decisions and how to implement the evaluation of user’s performance.
