3. WHY I CHOSE THIS PROJECT?
“Vogels!”-Rehabilitation
Game for Stroke patients
Some chance for Visit ing
Rehabilitation Center
Notice lots of Visual Disability
from stroke
Demand for the rehabilitation
game
4. HEMISPATIAL NEGLECT
There is NO Efficient
Rehabilitation for
Neglect yet
Lots of kind of Neglect
Depends on which parts and how big of
brain damage, their way of neglect are
different
Mental Problem
Too few patients who can play
digital game
5. “HOMONYMOUS HEMIANOPSIA”?
Visual Field Defect from
Brain injury
Stroke or brain shock from
heavy accidents
Optic nerves
Mentality
There is a way of Rehabilitation
6. NEW WAY OF REHABILITATION
-Stimulate the boarder between Visual luck area and Visible area-
The patients has to keeps their eyes fixed at center of computer, and has a switch to answer for the visual stimulation.
It includes a response warning sound after the patient indicated using a switch when he found the visual stimulation.
The system displays a visual stimulation point at areas between residual vision and area of visual lack.
The visual stimulations contained 20% placebo (no visual stimulation, only warning sound) for avoiding false answers.
The computer also calculated the percent of correct responses.
If the patients answer 90 correctly, the stimulation points move 2mm to the area of visual lack. If the answers are correct
less than 50 after that, the stimulation points are moved back 1mm.

8. NEW WAY OF REHABILITATION
-Stimulate the boarder between Visual luck area and Visible area-
BUT THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM
It’s too boring
9. IDEAS( Eye tracking by web camera)
The game will know where the patients are looking at
They can play the game without watch by care persons (patients has to keep
their eyes fixed at center of computer)
The patients can rehabilitate in their own house
10. IDEAS ( RHYTHM GAME) FAIL
Play test in Japan
How do you stimulate?
×Line ○Points
Difficult to use multiple key
Too difficult rule for the
patients
Should be more familiar
with elderly people
11. IDEAS(FISHING GAME)
Simple art and Sound
(If it is too much, the different parts
of nerves will be stimulated )
One button game
Correct several kinds of
fish
More feedback (Visual feed
back)
