“…This technology can add optical illusions or moving feelings to static objects, and can also be combined with audio. Projection mapping is used in various elds such as industry, education, medical care, advertising, and digital art [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], for example, projecting virtual clothing images on mannequins or projecting images on clothes, shoes, or cars to simulate changes in color and texture.…”

This paper introduces a technique that can easily transform images used for mobile projection mapping. In order to project various images to fit the plane of an irregular shaped object, the bilinear patch and the biquadratic Bezier patch were used, and a patch-merging method that combines multiple patches was developed. A merged patch is obtained by combining the mesh coordinates of the individual patches. Once an image to be projected is determined, then the image can be easily placed on the merged patch using an Android function. Afterwards, the image can be transformed into various shapes by adjusting the positions of the control points of the merged patch on the screen of a smartphone or a tablet PC. As the number of control points increases as patches are merged, a much more diverse image can be created. An Android App dedicated to projection mapping was created so that users can easily implement image transformations with mobile devices. It was shown that various shapes of images can be easily created through the App and finally, a shirt image was designed to demonstrate its usefulness.

The number of patients with mobility constraints is increasing as a result of neurological diseases. From the substantiation of the lost functions recoveries, it was possible to determine that the nervous system is able to reorganize itself expressing its property called neuroplasticity. Physical therapy is the well-known way to encourage and promote this ability. However, repetitive traditional physical therapy exercises may become boring and patients eventually abandon their physiotherapeutic programs. The development of new environments that motivate patients to continue with their treatments may be a suitable alternative or complementary tool. Serious games seems to be the ideal tool to provide them. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to present Physioland, a serious game already developed which can be a motivational complement for the physical therapy of patients with neurological diseases. Physioland is a non-invasive system that uses Image Processing Techniques and Artificial Intelligence to monitor patients and adapts some exercises of traditional physical therapy to electronic game situations. To determine whether Physioland would be motivating and challenging enough to increase a patient's desire to perform the exercises and continue/complete the rehabilitation process the game was tested in a clinical environment using two samples: one with twelve health professionals in the area of physiotherapy and the other with eleven patients with neurological diseases. The research team carried out a questionnaire-based survey. This questionnaire is an adaptation of another one already validated in the literature—the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). For the analysis of the data obtained with the Likert scale, percentages were calculated. The answers to the open questions were subject to a content analysis. The results showed that the developed game, Physioland, proved to be highly motivating for patients at the physiotherapy clinic where it was tested. If the results are similar in other clinics, Physioland, can be used as a good and effective complement to traditional physical therapy for patients with neurological diseases.
