- Additional information
- This paper reports on the first ever initiative to use an affordable head mounted display with an appropriate virtual reality software application designed to train driving skills to users of powered wheelchairs. Statistically significant results indicate the utility of this approach. It contributed to the award of a PhD (Day) and has led to ongoing work in this application area to develop both virtual and augmented reality solutions for this task
