“…Subsections 1-3. The proposed system has as its functional basis the detection of movements through the Kinect sensor as an input device [20,21], for which through specific scripts, the data provided by the tool is interpreted in order to track the patient's movements to avatar animations within the treatment scene. As an output device we consider virtual reality glasses in order to give the patient a greater immersion in the rehabilitation process.…”

This article proposes a tool to support the psychotherapist in the process of treating spider phobia through a system that combines both software and hardware elements to present immersive virtual reality environments to the treated patient. To create the feeling of immersion, environments and models created in Unity are used in conjunction with the patient's movement tracked through the Kinect motion sensor. For the development of the system, the psychotherapeutic treatment method of systematic desensitization is used, so that the patient can overcome his fear and present non-phobic interactions with spiders. The process of developing the system and redacting this document was supported and supervised by a psychologist specialized in the treatment of phobias. Finally, tests were performed to obtain feedback from specialists and potential patients with a medium degree of phobia, in which the results were very positive and satisfactory.

“…The Kinect was used to evaluate noise, accuracy, resolution, and latency of tracking skeletons; and measure the range in which the person being tracked must be in order to achieve these values [7]. Another tested application of the Kinect was a virtual bilateral ManMachine interaction through the Kinect sensors, allowing the user to control and monitor Windows programs by gestures without a need of peripherals use [1].…”

Abstract-The paper presents a proposal of sensor fusion combining data derived from a Kinect device and highprecision sensors. The main idea was to enhance the tracking of a human arm in order to obtain precise coordinates. The Kinect plays the role of a calibration device and sensors' data are used in kinematics equations for enhanced tracking of the arm. This way the resulting information has less uncertainty and can be directly transmitted to another system, e.g. robotics one. The system has been implemented using kinematics-based approach with transformation operators as well as quaternions. In terms of accuracy the main result is that the Kinect performs very similar with sensors.
