A Markerless Augmented Reality Application for Training Upper Limb Amputees

Abstract

Amputation is a traumatic process where the person needs to start rehabilitation immediately to regain physical independence. Traditionally, rehabilitation periods last up to 12 months and have dropout rates above 35%. Initiatives to train amputees through Augmented Reality (AR) can provide more realistic and immersive experiences. This project presents a Markerless RA application for the rehabilitation of upper limb amputees. The Cylindrical Socket tracking happens in real-time through the VIVE Tracker. The application is evolving excitingly.
