Abstract
This text positions the research of the 2021 and 2022 ICITA keynote speaker, namely, Dr Professor Anthony Brooks of Aalborg University, Denmark. It presents an introduction to his near four decades body of mature research targeting a working towards “Probably the best rehabilitation complex in the world”. The text includes aspects on eXtended Reality (XR); his emergent model ZOOM (the Zone of Optimized Motivation) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within SoundScapes and Virtual Interactive Space (VIS), the author’s research vehicles (method and apparatus, as patented); a workforce of the future in (Re)habilitation (by any other name); closing with a Discussion segueing to a Conclusion. Interested readers may peruse the author’s related approximate 250 publications that include a trilogy of books titled Technologies for Inclusive Wellbeing (i.e., Brooks et al. in “Recent advances in technologies for inclusive well-being: from worn to off-body sensing, virtual worlds, and games for serious applications” see Springer, 2017; Brooks et al. in “Recent advances in technologies for inclusive well-being: virtual patients, gamification and simulation”, see Springer, 2021; Brooks et al. in “Technologies of inclusive well-being serious games, alternative realities, and play therapy”, see Springer, 2014) that align to this text and both his 2021 Dubai Knowledge Park (UAE) ICITA keynote and his 2022 Lisbon University (Portugal) ICITA keynote.
