Current and Future Research Directions

  • Development and evaluation of new functional virtual environments, to be experienced within 2-D and 3-D platforms.
  • Identification of characteristics of 2-D and 3-D platforms in terms of their suitability for different patient populations.
  • Integration of haptic interfaces into existing VR platforms in order to provide simultaneous multimodal feedback during rehabilitation
  • Conceptualization and empirical validation of a model explaining how characteristics of the user, instrument and task interact to create an effective rehabilitation intervention tool
  • Development and evaluation of additional sonification routines
  • Development and evaluation of synchronous and asynchronous online learning modalities with a focus on virtual simulations
