This project focuses on the development of a VR-based approach for upper limb rehabilitation in chronic stroke survivors who suffer from hemiplegia. Towards this end we have developed a VR exergame, where the player is required to repeat the supination-pronation movement of the wrist joint, similar to that done within a physiotherapy session. An ongoing issue with such exercises in rehabilitation is that recovery methods lose their effectiveness when the procedure becomes tedious. Therefore, the application that we have developed differs from pre-existing ones in the fact that it is based on the theory of Social Facilitation.

An interactive game for Christmas developed by GET Lab. The game uses the kinect sensor to track user's movements in the physical space and map them into the virtual space.

Towards designing virtual environments suitable for the treatment of claustrophobia.
