Abstract (EN): This work describes a virtual environment for an instrumented glove to promote hand rehabilitation. The virtual environment comprises a 3D model of a hand that uses an instrumented glove with bend sensors to track the finger motion and an IMU (inertial measuring unit) to track the hand position and orientation. An interface device is responsible for routing the IMU to the virtual environment. The virtual environment connects to the interface device either by cable (USB) or wirelessly (Bluetooth LE). The virtual application was developed in Unity 5 and is multiplatform. This demo presents a functional virtual environment that interfaces with an instrumented glove and an IMU to provide a faithful virtual representation of the user's hand.
