GenVirtual: An Augmented Reality Musical Game for Cognitive and Motor Rehabilitation

Abstract

Electronic games have been used to stimulate objects modeling software are used. User interacts with 3D cognitive functions such as attention, concentration and objects moving and rotating markers. AR systems can memory. This paper presents GenVirtual, which is an provide a natural, fingertip/toe tip-based interaction (hands augmented reality musical game and is proposed to help people and feet). In this case, an image processing software is used with learning disabilities. The intention is to help the patient in to track gestures from the user [2]. the following skills: creativity, attention, memory (storage and retrieval), planning, concentration, ready-response, hearingIn the health area, VR and AR have some advantages over and visual perception, and motor coordination. The therapist traditional treatments because the elements that the patients has flexibility to place the musical and visual elements, allowing face and use are virtual, they can't hurt themselves and the him to create different scenarios to each patient. GenVirtual therapist controls the stimulus generation and can repeat it as uses Augmented Reality technology to allow people with many times as necessary. AR gives a better feeling of

Development of an interactive artifact for cognitive rehabilitation based on augmented reality

“…Interactive artifacts for rehabilitation are being developed, but most of them are applied in motor rehabilitation. There are few examples related to cognitive rehabilitation [25,27,28].…”

An assistive tabletop keyboard for stroke rehabilitation

“…Also, Lord et al developed a virtual-reality environment for training finger individuation in stroke survivors with chronic hand impairment; the users play an ergonomic 5-key virtual piano while receiving either assistance or resistance from a pneumatically actuated glove. In a non-glove-based study, Correa et al [9], [10] developed GenVirtual, an musical game that provided a natural, fingertip/toe interaction.…”

Juegos didácticos basados en realidad aumentada como apoyo en la enseñanza de biología

“…Fuente: Elaboración propia a partir de [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28] En la Tabla 1 se puede observar que el área donde mayormente se utiliza la RA es la educación, debido a que el uso de estas nuevas tecnologías en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje a través de imágenes virtuales, permiten al estudiante experimentar diferentes situaciones de aprendizaje en un entorno virtual inmersivo, agregando contenidos textuales, Multimedia, entre otros. Esta combinación es muy útil, ya que dinamiza el aprendizaje y favorece la aprehensión de conocimientos de una manera divertida y lúdica.…”
