The visually impaired suffer greatly while moving from one place to another. They face
challenges in going outdoors and in protecting themselves from moving and stationary …

Sensory impairments decrease quality of life and can slow or hinder rehabilitation. Small,
computationally powerful electronics have enabled the recent development of wearable …

This work describes a truck-driving simulator designed for the care of truckers suffering from
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This simulator exploits a new approach using virtual …

It is known that the physical conditions of an environment might represent an important risk
of falling. In this paper, we report an ongoing project toward the creation of intelligent clothes …

Virtual reality (VR) technologies allow for the creation of 3D environments that can be
exploited at the human level, maximizing humans' use of perceptual skills through their …

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be seen as the result of dysfunctional beliefs
that associate stimuli with a danger or a threat leading to anxious reactions. Exposure …

This paper addresses the use of audio and haptics as a mean to reduce the load of the
visual channel in interaction tasks within virtual environments. An examination is made …

Considering the current pyramidal age of developed countries it appears that there is a need
for tools that can automatically evaluate a person's ability to maintain balance. Proposed …

Humans perceive and discriminate high-frequency tactile vibrations based on the intensity
and envelope of the stimuli. However, no studies have investigated exactly how the …

Integration of haptics in Serious Games (SGs) remains limited compared to vision and audio.
Many works seem to limit haptic interactions to the mimicking of real life feelings. Here, we …
