Abstract

Whack-A-Mole VR is an open-source neurorehabilitation platform that is co-developed with clinical personnel to be accessible for stroke patients with varying levels of spatial neglect and upper limb hemiparesis. The platform provides a fundamental structure and framework for development of VR point-and-shoot games, whilst designed to accomodate stroke rehabilitation. The platform leverages benefits of VR, through input and viewport manipulation and kinematic measurement of velocity, trajectory straightness, smoothness of movement to provide evidence-based treatment.
