Interactive multi-sensory environment to control stereotypy behaviours

Abstract

The paper presents an interactive multi-sensory stimulation environment based on computer vision techniques for users with profound cerebral palsy to work their education curricula. We developed a set of visionbased applications with a high component of interactivity to create a controlled and safe environment to treat the users’ behaviours. We analyze the user’s body movement captured by a standard webcam to trigger audible, visual and/or tactile effects to produce significant stimulus in the environment.
