Glove based Virtual Reality (VR) interaction for the purpose of rehabilitation

Abstract

This paper describes the study for interfacing of dataglove with the virtual reality (VR) system for the purpose of the rehabilitation.Dataglove is a device capable of recording hand movements, both the position of the hand and its orientation as well as finger movements.GloveMAP with a flex sensor is a low cost solution for hand rehabilitation and is adapted in the VR environment. In this project, the system for hand rehabilitation using data glove, virtual reality and head mounted display is proposed. The proposed system will be the best solution toward the low costfor improving the efficiency of rehabilitation activityin the future.
