Guiding user motion for physiotherapy in virtual or augmented reality

This invention describes a system for guiding physical therapy exercises using virtual reality. A user sees an object in a virtual world and is told to move a body part to follow it, which helps them perform specific rehabilitation movements. The system tracks the body part's position, sends this data to a remote server, and the server then checks if the user is following the exercise protocol correctly.

Why it matters: Since 2020, the performance and accessibility of VR/AR hardware and motion tracking technology have significantly improved. This makes the implementation of a robust remote physiotherapy system, as described, more practical and user-friendly.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedVR/AR hardware, motion tracking, complex software, server.
