Animating Recovery: A Camera-Based System for Adjustable Finger Isolation Movement Rehabilitation Training in Virtual Reality

"Animating Recovery" introduces a VR-based hand rehabilitation system that leverages image-based real-time hand tracking to control animal avatars to assist therapy sessions. This system offers personalized and dynamic finger isolation movement rehabilitation training without specialized equipment, making it accessible to a wide range of users. By mapping hand joint movements to avatar animations, the system provides a novel therapeutic experience, allowing for adjustments based on specific hand functions or individual progress. This innovative approach aims to make the rehabilitation process more engaging and effective, particularly for post-stroke recovery.
