International Physical Therapy Expert Discusses Primesense Camera for Rehabilitation

This video demonstrates a user being tracked with the Primesense camera to acutate movement of an articulated stick figure, while Dr. Carolee Winstein, Professor and Director of the University of Southern California Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (NIDRR-funded RERC) fields questions about the impact of this sensor system on the future of Virtual Rehabilitation. This work is being conducted at the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies in partnership with the RERC focusing on optimizing participation through technology. This RERC aims to address the rehabilitation needs of those aging with a disability through the use of innovative Virtual Reality and game-based systems. Key investigators on this work include Belinda Lange and Skip Rizzo in partnership with Evan Suma, Mark Bolas, Brad Newman and Kevin Chang. Carolee Winstein and Phil Requejo are the USC RERC Directors and more information on this RERC can be found at: http://www.isi.edu/research/rerc/. Learn more about ICT at http://ict.usc.edu.
