Tele-immersive environments for rehabilitation activities: an empirical study on proprioception
نویسندگان
چکیده
Those with proprioceptive impairments can use their other senses as the proprioceptive feedback.We hypothesize that tele-immersion systems can aid in this supplemented proprioception by providing novel visual perspectives of one’s own body. In particular we are interested as to whether the real-time 3D reconstructions used in tele-immersive systems are better or worse than conventional 2D views (i.e. video) with regards to aiding a task requiring proprioception. The objective of this study is to investigate the stated hypothesis by quantifying and ranking the various visual and auditory cues available in a tele-immersive system as they are used during an assigned task. The paper briefly describes a portable immersive VR system, our methodology for quantifying task performance, and results from our experiments with wheelchair basketball athletes.

متن کاملMorality in tele-immersive environments
Humans are spending an increasing amount of time in teleimmersive environments interacting with avatars or virtual human bodies. Additionally, human behavior and cognition are affected by experiences in tele-immersive environments. Although there is substantial psychological work surrounding the notion of morality, there is little work that examines the interplay of immersive digital environmen...
متن کاملIntegration of Thermal and Visible Imagery for Robust Foreground Detection in Tele-immersive Spaces by Miles
The creation of tele-immersive environments involves taking parts of the real world, or scene, and synthesizing them in a virtual world. These parts are called objects of interest, and the collection of these objects together form the foreground of the scene. In particular, tele-immersive systems are designed to facilitate communication and collaboration between people. Therefore, the central o...

3D Tele-Immersion (3DTI) systems have been developed as a way to create a more interactive and immersive experience for the user in the areas of sports learning, rehabilitation, entertainment and games. In this paper we introduce such a system with Microsoft Kinect cameras that can be used as a platform for developing some applications with unique features. Specifically, we demonstrate two feat...

The main idea behind tele-immersive environment is to create an immersive virtual environment that connect people across networks and enable them to interact not only with each other, but also with various other forms of shared digital data (video, 3D models, images, text, etc.). Tele-immersive environments may eventually replace current video and telephone conferencing, and enable for a better...
