Abstract: To more effectively improve mobility impairment of a user by supporting rehabilitation, this invention provides a rehabilitation support apparatus for supporting rehabilitation of a user with mobility impairment, including a requester that requests a target action in a three-dimensional virtual space, and a feedback unit that performs feedback that stimulates at least two of five senses to the user who has performed the target action almost at the same time as a timing of performing the target action.

Abstract: To control a cognitive load to be given to the cognitive function of a user in rehabilitation, this invention provides a rehabilitation support apparatus including a detector that detects a three-dimensional rehabilitation action of the user, a display controller that generates, in a three-dimensional virtual space, an avatar object that moves in accordance with the detected rehabilitation action and a target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays these on a display, a notifier that notifies generation of the target object, and a cognitive load controller that gives a cognitive load to the user by generating the target object after an elapse of a predetermined time from the notification of the generation position of the target object.

Abstract: To accurately evaluate the cognitive ability of a user, a cognitive ability estimation apparatus includes a display controller that generates and displays, in a virtual space, a target object for urging a user to perform a three-dimensional body action, a setter that sets, as an attribute of the target object in the virtual space, at least one of a moving speed, the number of displayed target objects, a size, a display position, and a display interval, and an estimator that estimates a cognitive ability level of the user in accordance with the attribute of the target object in a case where the body action for the target object can be achieved by the user.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting rehabilitation of a user includes a detector that detects a direction of a head of the user wearing a head mounted display, and a display controller that generates, in a virtual space, a rehabilitation target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays the target object on the head mounted display in accordance with the direction of the head of the user detected by the detector. To avoid risk that the user interferes with an object in a real space, the display controller further controls display of the head mounted display.

Abstract: A rehabilitation support apparatus that provides rehabilitation comfortable for a user includes a detector that detects a direction of a head of a user wearing a head mounted display, a first display controller that generates, in a virtual space, a rehabilitation target object to be visually recognized by the user and displays the target object on the head mounted display in accordance with the direction of the head of the user detected by the detector, and a second display controller that displays, on the head mounted display, a notification image used to notify the user of a position of the target object.

Abstract: In a system configured to perform active target updating according to a rehabilitation action of a user, a first rehabilitation action of the user is detected, and an avatar image that moves in accordance with the detected first rehabilitation action and a target image representing a target of the first rehabilitation action are displayed. The rehabilitation ability of the user is evaluated by comparing the first rehabilitation action and a target position represented by the target image, and the target position is updated in accordance with an evaluation result. Furthermore, a second rehabilitation action of the user during the first rehabilitation action is detected, and the rehabilitation ability is evaluated based on both the first rehabilitation action and the second rehabilitation action.
