Serious Games Based on Kinect and Leap Motion Controller for Upper Limbs Physical Rehabilitation

Part of the Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation book series (SSMI,volume 29)

Abstract

The design, implementation and tests of a system for assessment and monitoring movements, which includes the sensors from Kinect and Leap Motion Controller devices, are discussed in the present chapter. The advantages and some drawbacks of using the two devices for creating virtual environments for motor rehabilitation in which interaction of the user with virtual reality is made through natural user interfaces are described. The IoT architecture for rehabilitation environment, several serious games that our team have developed and the usability evaluation of the system are presented. Our insights, based on our research work during serious games development as well as on literature analysis, mainly focusing these on practicality of the developed serious games and on their acceptability for motor rehabilitation, are also included in the chapter. In the development of a system that includes IoT technology for movements tracking and progress evaluation during motor rehabilitation, the importance of user centered design is underscored.
