Abstract

We present here a novel game engine, designed specifically to guide rehabilitation at home. Besides the classical functionalities: animation, rendering, collision detection and so forth, adaptation to the patient status and monitoring are embedded inside the engine. Moreover, a virtual therapist is also provided that can advice and support the patient throughout the rehabilitation sessions. Some game examples built on this engine are described.
