Development of a virtual-reality system with large-scale haptic interface and accessible motion capture for rehabilitation

Abstract

Despite the development in virtual reality (VR) technology, haptic interaction within large virtual environments (VEs) remains limited. The overall aim of this project is to develop a VR system incorporating haptic interface using a cable-driven parallel robot with accessible motion capture with multiple Kinect sensors for rehabilitation. The immediate objective is to provide preliminary data on the functionality of the novel platform and its components and show its potential for rehabilitation.
