Cognitive, Mental and Physical Rehabilitation Using a Configurable Virtual Reality System

This paper describes a unified approach to virtual reality platform and treat this domain as a whole whereas the cognitive, psychological and physical aspects of helping people are all encompassed within a single solution, called Cyber Care Clinique (CCC). The underlying idea is to create a single hospital unit with virtual reality services to which different departments can subscribe their patients to and therefore maximize the utilization of the system. In this model, the flexibility and ease of reconfigurability of the VR solution as well as the virtual environments themselves play a critical role. Therefore we created a unique platform to serve the needs of multiple health-care units and allow for the treatment of a large number of patients. The paper describes in detail the technical aspects of our solution as well as clinical application areas we successfully implemented and evaluated during the past years.
