Virtual reality comprises the computer-based generation of realistic three-dimensional visual, auditory, and tactile environments in which a user can explore and interact with virtual objects. Although traditionally used for input devices to virtual worlds, the instrumented glove and sensor technologies of virtual reality may provide a dramatic new method for the measurement and amplification of human motion. This paper discusses some potential uses of virtual reality technology to support and augment routine activities for people who have physical disabilities. We present two different but related applications of this technology.
虚拟现实包括基于计算机生成的逼真的三维视觉、听觉和触觉环境，用户可以在其中探索虚拟物体并与之交互。尽管传统上用于虚拟世界的输入设备，但虚拟现实的仪器手套和传感器技术可能为测量和放大人体运动提供一种全新的方法。本文讨论了虚拟现实技术在支持和增强身体残疾人士日常活动方面的一些潜在用途。我们展示了这项技术的两种不同但相关的应用。
