Abstract. The evolution of technology in support to the Knowledge Society of the years 2000s will be driven by three dominant trends: a) increase of richness and completeness of communications towards "Immersive Virtual Telepresence" (IVT), including an increased attention to the aspects of human perception and of person-machine interaction; b) increasingly relevant role of mobility starting from the UMTS "Beyond 3rd Generation" (B3G); c) pervasive diffusion of intelligence in the space around us through the development of network technologies towards the objective of "Ambient Intelligence" (AmI). This tutorial paper intends to provide an insight on some of the main technologies that will allow the development of this new perspective, as well as on perception issues and related human factors. The paper also provides information on ongoing and planned projects on virtual technologies and ambient intelligence technologies.

A data glove is a typical input device to control a virtual environment. At the same time it measures movements of wrist and fingers. The purposes of this investigation were to assess the ability of BrainMaker, a neural network, to recognize movement patterns during an opposition task that consisted of repetitive self-paced movements of the fingers in opposition to the thumb. The neural network contained 56 inputs, 3 hidden layers of 20 neurons, and one output. The 5th glove '95 (5DT), a commercial glove especially designed for virtual reality games, was used for finger motion capture. The training of the neural network was successful for recognizing the thumb, the index finger and the ring finger movements during the repetitive self-paced movements and neural network performed well during testing.

Information technology becomes important part of the current state of the art within health sciences. It allows to gather and analyze biomedical signals and data sets in the more efficient way, and provide better insight into evidences due to metabases and decision support systems based on computational intelligence. Social changes, development of IT systems and shortages in number of specialists, specialistic equipment and budget can stimulate quicker development of cheaper semi-automated solutions increasing both accurateness of the diagnosis and the safety of patients. This chapter aims to describe the concept of the development of the heath care and professional training based on current achievements within technology, education, E-Health and patient-tailored therapy. The authors try to answer the question: how current results can be developed and incorporated into scientific research and clinical practice?
