“…In many applications Virtual Reality (VR) is used to provide immersion. Example of these applications can be seen in (Inoue et al, 2006) that describe the use of a driving simulator, in (Niniss & Inoue, 2010) describing the use of an electric wheelchair simulator, in (Kim, Kim, & Kwon, 2006) describing a VR Bicycle Simulator and in (ArmNews, 2010) that describes a computer assisted rehabilitation environment system for civilian and military patient recovery.…”

This chapter addresses up-to-date research development regarding the adoption of more natural forms of interaction in the Serious Games for Rehabilitation domain of application. The chapter starts by presenting fundamental concepts on Serious Games illustrated by relevant applications. It describes the main problems involved and how Serious Games can benefit the process of rehabilitation. A comprehensive literature survey is presented and accompanied by a proposed set of classification criteria towards a taxonomy. From this study, a main research opportunity the authors identified is the potential benefits of the adoption of natural interaction modalities. The remainder of the chapter presents the authors’ recent work on this subject, including the description and design of game prototypes using alternative and natural interaction modalities. The chapter presents experiments and the results of a user study in order to make it possible to conclude about the benefits of the newer forms of interaction. From this study, it was concluded that the introduction of the natural interaction modalities has increased the attractiveness and intuitiveness of the prototyped Serious Game. This important result is a motivating factor to improve the interaction mechanisms and conduct studies with distinct tasks and larger samples of users/patients. Lastly, the authors report identified research opportunities and open problems.

The automobile has an important impact on the daily lives of elderly people and their ability to participate in society. However, the deterioration of physical skills caused by aging is also a cause of vehicular accidents. In this paper, we conduct research into the cognitive function on driving ability, and propose a method to evaluate the driving ability of elderly drivers. The proposed system that the system is a computer simulator rather than an actual on-road driving experiment evaluates the ability to follow a road, the ability to avoid obstacles, and the ability to escape from unexpected dangers. To identify the operating characteristics and define an assessment index, 102 people over the age of 65 were surveyed on their driving attitudes. The investigation showed that the tasks and assessment index, and based on this system, another 92 elderly people participated in evaluation tests. The results showed there was a significant difference between elderly and younger drivers in terms of road-following and obstacle-avoidance ability. In addition, an assessment index with a five-level rating system, based on the characteristics of elderly drivers, was proposed.
