Evaluating lightweight optical hand tracking for Virtual Reality rehabilitation

Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2

Abstract

As part of the TRAVEE (Virtual Therapist for Neuromotor Rehabilitation through Augmented Feedback) project we require a device for a precise tracking of the movements of the human hand. We concluded that the most appropriate for our purpose (due to its lightweight design and ease of use) would be a solution based on optical tracking. In this paper, we presented the way in which we evaluated two such optical tracking devices: Leap Motion and Intel RealSense. We used this method because we believe it fits the best our particular scenario.
