Abstract

We present a novel way of interacting with an immersive virtual environment which involves inexpensive motion-capture using the Wii Remote®. A software framework is also presented to visualize and share this information across two remote CAVE TM-like environments. The resulting application can be used to assist rehabilitation by sending motion information across remote sites. The application's software and hardware components are scalable enough to be used on a desktop computer when home-based rehabilitation is preferred. © 2011 by Walter de Gruyter · Berlin · Boston.
