Wheelchair Simulation in Virtual Reality
نویسنده
چکیده
Research Background This recently completed research project has resulted in the development of a wheelchair motion platform which, in conjunction with a virtual reality facility, can be used to address issues of accessibility in the built environment. This venture represents a collaborative effort between architects, bioengineers and user groups and has investigated topics related to platform design and construction, interfacing, testing and user evaluation. Current research is directed towards developing this prototype, extending existing simulation capabilities and exploring its utility in a design environment.

متن کاملA Virtual-Reality-based Evaluation Environment for Wheelchair-mounted Manipulators
The design of solutions for robotic extenders of wheelchairs must take into account both objective and subjective metrics for everyday activities in human environments. Virtual Reality (VR) constitutes a useful tool to effectively test design ideas and to verify performance criteria. This paper presents the development of a simulation environment, where three different manipulators to be mounte...
متن کاملTowards a brain-controlled wheelchair prototype
In this project, a design for a non-invasive, EEG-based braincontrolled wheelchair has been developed for use by completely paralyzed patients. The proposed design includes a novel approach for selecting optimal electrode positions, a series of signal processing algorithms and an interface to a powered wheelchair. In addition, a 3D virtual environment has been implemented for training, evaluati...
