3D Tele-Rehabilitation Beyond Today’s Internet

The video discusses the 3D Tally Rehabilitation project, which aims to virtualize physical therapy sessions using Microsoft Kinect and haptic devices. This setup allows patients and therapists to interact in a virtual environment, providing a similar experience to in-person therapy. The project includes a game for therapy exercises and requires high bandwidth for data transmission. It is being deployed at the Dallas Veterans Affairs medical center to assist stroke patients and those with upper arm disorders, especially when therapists are unavailable locally.
