The great success of wearables and smartphone apps for provision of extensive physical workout instructions boosts a whole industry dealing with consumer oriented sensors and sports equipment. But with these opportunities there are also new…
Virtual Reality (VR) exergames can increase engagement in and motivation for physical activities. Most VR exergames focus on the upper body because many VR setups only track the users' heads and hands. To become a serious alternative to…
Continuous brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that decode motion trajectories from imagined movement offer intuitive motor control, yet how feedback modality and longitudinal training shape neural representations and decoding performance…
Rehabilitation training for patients with motor disabilities usually requires specialized devices in rehabilitation centers. Home-based multi-purpose training would significantly increase treatment accessibility and reduce medical costs.…
Neuroadaptive haptics offers a path to more immersive extended reality (XR) experiences by dynamically tuning multisensory feedback to user preferences. We present a neuroadaptive haptics system that adapts XR feedback through reinforcement…
Low back pain (LBP) is a pervasive global health challenge, affecting approximately 80% of adults and frequently progressing into chronic or recurrent episodes. While exercise therapy is a primary clinical intervention, traditional at-home…
Robotics simulation has been an integral part of research and development in the robotics area. The simulation eliminates the possibility of harm to sensors, motors, and the physical structure of a real robot by enabling robotics…
Over the past decade, extended reality (XR) has emerged as an assistive technology not only to augment residual vision of people losing their sight but also to study the rudimentary vision restored to blind people by a visual…
4D reconstruction and rendering of human activities is critical for immersive VR/AR experience.Recent advances still fail to recover fine geometry and texture results with the level of detail present in the input images from sparse…
Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces are increasingly used as remote visualization media in telerobotics. Remote environments captured through RGB-D cameras and visualized using VR interfaces can enhance operators' situational awareness and…
This paper introduces IRIS, an Immersive Robot Interaction System leveraging Extended Reality (XR). Existing XR-based systems enable efficient data collection but are often challenging to reproduce and reuse due to their specificity to…
We developed and validated RetinaVR, an affordable and immersive virtual reality simulator for vitreoretinal surgery training, using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset. We focused on four core fundamental skills: core vitrectomy, peripheral…
Effective stroke recovery requires continuous rehabilitation integrated with daily living. To support this need, we propose a home-based rehabilitation exercise and feedback system. The system consists of (1) hardware setup with RGB-D…
Registration is a fundamental task in medical image analysis which can be applied to several tasks including image segmentation, intra-operative tracking, multi-modal image alignment, and motion analysis. Popular registration tools such as…
Enhancing the earthquake behavioral responses and post-earthquake evacuation preparedness of building occupants is beneficial to increasing their chances of survival and reducing casualties after the main shock of an earthquake.…
While Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly employed for stress management, most applications rely heavily on audio-visual stimuli and overlook the therapeutic potential of squeezing engagement. To address this gap, we introduce VR Calm…
Unhealthy behaviors, e.g., physical inactivity and unhealthful food choice, are the primary healthcare cost drivers in developed countries. Pervasive computational, sensing, and communication technology provided by smartphones and…
Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) enables controlled exposure to trauma-related stimuli to facilitate memory access and emotional processing. However, the field remains underexplored for complex post-traumatic stress disorder…
Good posture and form are essential for safe and productive exercising. Even in gym settings, trainers may not be readily available for feedback. Rehabilitation therapies and fitness workouts can thus benefit from recommender systems that…
In this paper we introduce novel Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) treatments to improve the psychological well being of patients in palliative care, based on interviews with a clinical psychologist who has successfully…
