“…For users with physical impairments, research has explored applications supporting rehabilitation [20,21,22,23], physiotherapy [24], biomechanical movement [25] and for stabilising physical involuntary motion (i.e. hand tremors) [26]. Additionally, immersive technology research has explored interactive gaming systems and interfaces for assisting wheelchair users [27,28,29].…”

Augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) hold significant potential to transform how we communicate, collaborate, and interact with others. However, there has been a lack of work to date investigating accessibility barriers in relation to immersive technologies for people with disabilities. To address current gaps in knowledge, we led two multidisciplinary Sandpits with key stakeholders (including academic researchers, AR/VR industry specialists, people with lived experience of disability, assistive technologists, and representatives from national charities and special needs colleges) to collaboratively explore and identify existing challenges with AR and VR experiences. We present key themes that emerged from Sandpit activities and map out the interaction barriers identified across a spectrum of impairments (including physical, cognitive, visual, and auditory disabilities). We conclude with recommendations for future work addressing the challenges highlighted to support the development of more inclusive AR and VR experiences.

“…Wang et al [23,24] conducted a study on the application of augmented reality technology to assist tremor patients in typing on a keyboard like ordinary people. Wang et al [25] investigated the use of projection-based augmented reality technology called "Extend Hand" to help tremor patients directly interact with remotecontrolled home appliances. Compared to virtual videos, augmented reality can provide more intuitive and specific rehabilitation training guidance and monitoring.…”

Tremor is a movement disorder that significantly impacts an individual’s physical stability and quality of life, and conventional medication or surgery often falls short in providing a cure. Rehabilitation training is, therefore, used as an auxiliary method to mitigate the exacerbation of individual tremors. Video-based rehabilitation training is a form of therapy that allows patients to exercise at home, reducing pressure on rehabilitation institutions’ resources. However, it has limitations in directly guiding and monitoring patients’ rehabilitation, leading to an ineffective training effect. This study proposes a low-cost rehabilitation training system that utilizes optical see-through augmented reality (AR) technology to enable tremor patients to conduct rehabilitation training at home. The system provides one-on-one demonstration, posture guidance, and training progress monitoring to achieve an optimal training effect. To assess the system’s effectiveness, we conducted experiments comparing the movement magnitudes of individuals with tremors in the proposed AR environment and video environment, while also comparing them with standard demonstrators. Participants wore a tremor simulation device during uncontrollable limb tremors, with tremor frequency and amplitude calibrated to typical tremor standards. The results showed that participants’ limb movement magnitudes in the AR environment were significantly higher than those in the video environment, approaching the movement magnitudes of the standard demonstrators. Hence, it can be inferred that individuals receiving tremor rehabilitation in the AR environment experience better movement quality than those in the video environment. Furthermore, participant experience surveys revealed that the AR environment not only provided a sense of comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment but also effectively guided them throughout the rehabilitation process.
