A fun rhythm-based game as a replacement for conventional mirror therapy, for rehabilitation of fine hand motor skills. In Shapes and Rhythm, the players have to position their hands so they fit certain hand posture shapes, without hitting the edges. By using Virtual Reality in combination with the Leap Motion sensor, players are tricked to believe that their disabled hand is performing the right motions, speeding up the recovery process. The prototype includes in-game data collection, for a pilot study at Ghent University.
