Possible use of virtual reality in the therapist-patient interaction

This paper describes in short, the therapeutic system implemented in virtual reality. The primary focus of the paper is to the description of the functionality of animation settings within the parameters of interaction/rehabilitation, visualization and functionalization of the system. With this system, the patient can be stimulated under the supervision of a therapist to practice some rehabilitation/training procedures. In addition, the therapist can demonstrate the desired action to the patient. Due to the use of collaborative virtual reality, this process can be also applied in a distance form and thus it expands the therapist-patient interaction.
