THE CUSTOMER
THE REQUIREMENTS
Our customer requested an application that would allow users to enact the exercises used for physical rehabilitation in a more fun and relaxed environment.
THE CHALLENGE
The application needed to respond well to the users input as the accuracy of inputs reflects the quality of the exercises. Hardware limitations were also a challenge as, being used in a hospital environment, the target hardware specifications were limited. This required a good balance to be found between esthetics and recourses required.
Case details
Client name:
Mindmaze
Completed:
500 hours
Category:
Unity, Kinect and custom hardware
PROVIDED SOLUTION
The Kinect SDK was used to read the users body position and use said information as input for the application.
The target hardware, having limited resources, required us to have more details added through textures, rather than the 3d model of the objects.
We developed a minigame that simulates an exercise used during the patient’s rehabilitation sessions, while also allowing the doctors to set different difficulties for each patient.
KEY PRODUCT FEATURES
• Setting different difficulty levels for each patient
• Using the patients body movements as inputs
• Visually appealing while keeping system requirements minimal
• Ranking the users progress at the end of the round
THE OUTCOME
All requested functionalities were implemented while respecting the specifications. The clinical team was pleased with the outcome of the product. The application is used to help patients with their rehabilitation. More applications were requested.
