Balance Project

I created these programs (Serious Games) in collaboration with the Hospital of Cabueñes as a part of my Degree Final Project. It has two parts, a test and a training game.

  • BALANCE TEST

The first program uses the Microsoft Kinect and the Oculus Rift DK1 to test the balance of the patient and  find balance disorders.

The patient has to try to stand still during the test while the patient receives or creates different visual, proprioceptive and vestibular stimulations. During the test, using Microsoft Kinect v1, collects data of the movement of patient’s body, to present it to a Doctor in graphs who analyze the equilibrium level of the patient.

  • BALANCE TRAINING GAME

The second Serious Game is used in rehabilitation therapies with people with balance disorders.

The player has to use his/her foot to collect all the coins. This is a common training exercise in rehabilitation therapies.

Microsoft Kinect v1 is used to detect the player movements.
