Figure 1.
Set-up at the patient’s home. The patient wears a HMD with head-tracking for immersion in the virtual environment from a first-person perspective of the avatar representing him. Wireless body tracking allows control over the avatar’s movements. A haptic device with force-feedback is used for tactile interaction with the environment and/or remote persons. Finally, several sensors and electrodes are attached to the patient to monitor his physiological and emotional state.
