Paper Abstract:
|
The work that is presented here deals with the preliminary developments of a set of Virtual Reality (VR) tools intended for the simulation of motor impairment. This work is developed in the framework of the European Project VERITAS whose objective is to develop a set of tools to support inclusive design of products and services. Among the main objectives of the project it is planned to develop of an Immersive Simulation Platform (ISP) based on virtual reality technologies where designers assess the result of their design work assuming the point of view of the disabled with the aim of allowing her/him to directly experience a specific disability. To this aim a set of custom Interaction Tools (IT) have been developed. In this paper we introduce the Interaction Tools (ITs) for the simulation of motor disabilities that make use of newly developed interfaces. In particular we present three interfaces dedicated to the simulation of Kinematics, Dynamics and Control functional limitations. |
