Um framework de realidade virtual e aumentada para apoio a sistemas de reabilitação

Abstract

The presence of computing in mankind\'s daily life is a fact that is becoming increasingly common. In health care, computing is revolutionizing also: CT scans, tests more precise etc. This can also be observed in human rehabilitation, where computing has helped through data visualization technologies like Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. However, the rapid pace of developments require scientific validation and still raises the need to flex the exchange of the system when it becomes stale, since the support technologies have become increasingly smaller. This thesis proposes a Framework view data using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, allowing the connection of the same individual or simultaneous simulation systems. The architecture separates and encapsulates the functionality into separate and independent interfaces that communicate through events transmitted by networks. This arrangement allows the exchange or connection of a new interface, as needed, or update the system. To validate the architecture, forão built prototypes simulators in the area of Biomedical Engineering, where the combination of display interfaces and acquisition interfaces were implemented and evaluated, studies have shown the possibility of different interfaces for the same treatment, allowing the User to use one or dependento more adaptive and ergonomic factors. These prototypes were tested by a multidisciplinary team physiotherapists, engineers to validate the proposal to create a support architecture to create simulation environments that allow the exchange of display modules, after several tests related on egonomia and tool efficiency, can If assert that really depend on the degree of limitation of a patient to change the graphical interface promotes more comfort without compromising the operation of the simulator. This architecture as developed proved to be an innovation being the same registered.
