As the technology grows scientists and engineers are trying to combine their work to compensate some body parts that is lost. Prosthetic devices grabbed the attention of most of the doctors and engineers working on solution for lost body parts. Generally prosthetic devices are either external wearable devices or internal ones. Such devices may depend on a built on microcontroller or the brain signals from the patient himself. Although it is used for lost body parts it can also be used for rehabilitation, power assistance, diagnostics, monitoring, ergonomics, etc. The currently used devices usually have the disadvantages of big size and high cost. The suggested device in this paper is targeting the design of portable rehabilitation device with light weight and low cost for paralyzed hand people. The suggested device allows the user to train the patient's hand or perform some needed exercises for his impaired hand. This helps the user to restore the normal hand movement and functionality. The device includes two modes of operation to be chosen by the user through the platform built on a microprocessor which can help controlling the exoskeleton to perform the needed exercises or tasks. Collaboration with several healthcare organizations will be considered to verify or test the effectiveness of this exoskeleton.

Virtual reality (VR) technology offers numerous benefits in different application areas, especially in education. VR brings new approaches to learning that can make the education process more attractive, while at the same time learners can develop creativity and innovativeness. Despite the possible benefits that VR can offer, the use of VR is still not widespread for educational purposes. Furthermore, the potential of VR for assistive technologies in the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) domain is recognized but has not been fully exploited. In this paper, development of an elementary mathematical virtual classroom prototype based on Oculus Rift and Leap Motion devices is described. The learning concept used in the prototype was taken from the state-of-the-art AAC application for mobile devices that introduces children with the concept of quantity which is one of the preconditions for adopting the concept of number. To analyze user's satisfaction with the application and acceptance of a new technology in general, user evaluation of the developed prototype was conducted. In general, a positive feedback from users without disabilities suggests that it makes sense to combine VR elements with education as well as AAC technologies. Contributing factors, such as the level of immersion in VR environments, unnatural behavior of virtual hands, and the level of familiarity with the VR technology, are identified as some of the most important aspects that need to be considered in the follow-up studies concerning users with disabilities (i.e. children with complex communication needs).

“…In addition, the reduction of VR costs from an expensive technology available to a niche of researchers [4,5], to being available to consumers at an affordable price, makes it attractive as an economical alternative or complementary solution to the more expensive and sophisticated laboratories used in education. Therefore, this paper looks at evidence from multiple publications such as those using VR labs and arguing that the learning experience is better than traditional [6][7][8] while others argue that the learning experience is at least on par [9,10]. Lastly, the benefits of being affordable and as good as the physical laboratory opens new doors for distance and remote learning improvement, which will give the universities an edge in terms of their international offerings and use of technology in education, are also discussed in this paper.…”

The advancement of VR technology through the increase in its processing power and decrease in its cost and form factor induced the research and market interest away from the gaming industry and towards education and training. In this paper, we argue and present evidence from vast research that VR is an excellent tool in engineering education. Through our review, we deduced that VR has positive cognitive and pedagogical benefits in engineering education, which ultimately improves the students’ understanding of the subjects, performance and grades, and education experience. In addition, the benefits extend to the university/institution in terms of reduced liability, infrastructure, and cost through the use of VR as a replacement to physical laboratories. There are added benefits of equal educational experience for the students with special needs as well as distance learning students who have no access to physical labs. Furthermore, recent reviews identified that VR applications for education currently lack learning theories and objectives integration in their design. Hence, we have selected the constructivist and variation learning theories as they are currently successfully implemented in engineering education, and strong evidence shows suitability of implementation in VR for education.
