  • MComp (Hons) Computer Science (Game Engineering)
  • Utilizing Novel Interface Techniques on Sony Commodity Hardware for Games for Health.

The aim of the research is to develop a serious game that will provide a more engaging experience for people undergoing rehabilitation for stroke or cerebral palsy. The game will focus on identifying medically approved finger and hand movements to aid these patients, using a Sony PS Vita system. The device allows for interaction on multiple surfaces in a unique way that can be vital to creating such a game. Time permitting, an integration with a PS4 system may also be implemented to carry the project further.
