Because of the size and cost of the equipment, its use is limited to hospitals and large medical clinics. Technology Recent advances in technology have yielded electro-magnetic sensors capable of motion detection. This advance has allowed us to produce a light-weight, mobile, affordable alternative. The entire setup weighs less than 10 lbs. We are in the process of comparing data gathered from our setup and from the current standard.
Preliminary results indicate good agreement between the two sources.
It provides a panoramic view of familiar scenes and should allow subjects to experience a sensation of being immersed in a photo-realitic space. The production of QuickTime VR is relatively inexpensive. An example of a training program is seen below. We are attempting to establish the norms for accuracy and gain of voluntary body sway. This will result in increased efficiency of rehabilitation and yield documentation of patient performance.
