Rientr@

Rientr@ is a research project aimed at developing a wheelchair simulator to help novice end users in regaining autonomy in the activities of daily living. The simulator is made of virtual environments representing outdoor and indoor scenarios to be experienced through a head-mounted display. An ad-hoc seat is mounted on a parallel platform; its wheels are sensorized and actuated. This setup allows for the measurement of wheels position and speed, which are used to compute the position of the user in the virtual scene. Also, it permits the provision of vestibular sensations and force feedback.
