Chris Curry, School of Kinesiology doctoral candidate and member of the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory , recently presented his research, “Cybersickness in Virtual Reality: Examining the Influence of the Virtual Environments on Sex Susceptibility,” at SIGGRAPH Asia in the Fast Forward Thesis competition. In addition to participating in the Fast Forward Thesis competition, Curry showcased a poster, “Gamification in a Physical Rehabilitation Setting: Developing a Proprioceptive Training Exercise for a Wrist Robot.” This project discussed ongoing efforts from the Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory on developing a game for the Wristbot.
Curry’s presentation highlighted the interactive gamification of robot-aided training, and how this increases motivation for patients with proprioceptive (body awareness) impairments. Curry showcased his initiatives towards developing a game that could accompany robot-aided wrist exercises.
The 12th ACM Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics & Interactive Techniques was held in Brisbane, Australia from November 17 – 20, 2019.
