On the use of augmented reality techniques in a telerehabilitation environment for wheelchair users' training

Abstract

This work’s purpose is to investigate the use of Augmented Reality techniques on telerehabilitation, applied to wheelchair users training. In this scenario, using a computer with unconventional devices, the user will be connected to a remote training space and will be able to issue commands, in order to accomplish the execution of training exercises. The telerehabilitation environment should reproduce the main challenges faced by wheelchair users in their daily activities.
