We are excited to announce the Tutorial, "On the Turning Away: Enhancing Stroke Survivors Rehabilitation with Virtual Reality", which will be held in conjunction with VISIGRAPP 2025!!
This tutorial will present essential concepts associated with the use of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies for Rehabilitation scenarios from a Human-Centered Design (HCD) perspective.
To help achieve this vision, various research works will be described, which were conducted in collaboration with a renown Medical Rehabilitation center, including stroke survivors and healthcare professionals.
The tutorial will end with a call for action, illustrating various important topics that should be addressed to increase the level of maturity of the field. Finally, we intend to have a period for discussion, in which the attendees may express their questions and opinions, including interesting topics for future research.
