Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology that alters the way individuals interact with computers: a 3D computer-generated environment in which a person can move about and interact as if he actually was inside it. Given to the high computational power required to create virtual enviroments, these are usually developed on expensive high-end workstations. However, the significant advances in PC hardware that have been made over the last three years, are making PC-based VR a possible solution for clinical assessment and therapy.
VREPAR – Virtual Reality Environments for Psychoneurophysiological Assessment and Rehabilitation – are two European Community funded projects (Telematics for health – HC 1053/HC 1055 –
The paper describes the rationale of the developed modules and the preliminary results obtained.
