Abstract :
We present a tangible virtual kitchen system for the rehabilitation of Alzheimer´s patients. The system utilizes Sifteo cube, a commercially available product containing physical cubes with touch screen, accelerometers, and neighboring sensors. The system supports intuitive and natural user interactions to improve motor skill rehabilitation for everyday kitchen tasks.
