Virtual Boutique – aVirtual Reality Based Rehabilitation System

This virtual reality-based rehabilitation system, using retail work at a boutique as the training scenario, provides vocational training for people with cognitive disabilities. This computer application for cognitive training is based on 3D visual reality technology. Participants will assume the role of a salesperson to carry out real-life tasks which focus on enhancing their attention, memory, executive functions and problem solving abilities. Research findings indicated that this kind of training can effectively improve users’ cognitive functions. This allows them to apply the skills, e.g. sales and problem solving, they acquired in training to their daily lives.
