Objective and quantitative evaluation measure on ability of obstacle sense by using acoustical VR system and body movement measuring device in rehabilitation for the visually impaired

摘要

We proposed the evaluation system of the obstacle sense for the rehabilitation of the visually impaired, by using the acoustical VR technology and the body movement measuring device, based on the principle of the auditory kinesthesis. We tested the evaluation experiment and the control experiment, and we demonstrated the possibility of our system. Our techniques will contribute to the rehabilitation of the visually impaired by shortening the training period and ensuring the evaluation of training results.
