Description

In this talk, we show how facial expressions and heart rate can be used as an input. We discuss how they allow us to personalise user experience and how combined with VR, they can help tackle health issues such as facial palsy, but also autism or mental health.

Emteq has a unique approach to help people with Facial Palsy, with tailored therapy for home and clinics. We integrated an array of sensors in all-in-one VR headsets. EMG sensors give real-time feedback about muscle activity, showing patients movements that are invisible in a mirror. PPG sensors give additional feedback on relaxation level. Using an iterative user-centred design approach, we developed a VR application for facial rehabilitation.
