Demo: Good Vibrations
Patients with Parkinson's disease endure constant shaking of their hands 24 hours a day for multiple years. For the first time, we provide a technology where their hands no longer shake. Problem:Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder impacting 10 million people. Patients with the Parkinson's have a ~5Hz tremor in their extremities, including their hands, making simple activities challenging.
Solution: Our virtual reality technology allows patients to enter a new reality where they are asymptomatic, free of debilitating tremors. We have built a Tremor Healing gaming platform that provides relief from tremors by sampling their trajectory & canceling their velocity. This occurs at 3x tremor frequency resulting instantaneous hand stabilization to manipulate digital environments & feel free of the disease.
Our purpose is: To connect educators, developers & others in this space to create effective ways of developing & implementing VR in educational spaces.
