About

Diogo Pereira is a researcher at the intersection of virtual reality, robotics, and rehabilitation engineering. His work focuses on leveraging consumer-grade technologies to create accessible, engaging solutions for medical therapy, particularly for upper limb rehabilitation. Pereira’s most cited paper, “Measuring the Precision of the Oculus Quest 2’s Handheld Controllers” (2023, 13 citations), provides a critical evaluation of the accuracy of affordable VR systems, establishing their viability for psychological and physiological medical applications. This foundational study helps bridge the gap between high-cost clinical equipment and widely available consumer hardware. In his related work, “A Robotic and Game-Based Framework for Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation” (2022, 2 citations), Pereira addresses a key challenge in physiotherapy: the monotony of repetitive exercises. By integrating robotic assistance with game-based interactions, his framework aims to reduce therapist fatigue and improve patient engagement during recovery. Pereira’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical focus on cost-effective, scalable solutions that could democratize access to advanced rehabilitation technologies.
