Abstract
For those people who suffer from major hand injury, encouraging them to carry out rehabilitation is an important therapeutic activity. However, it is a repetitious routine for patients who easily get tired and bored. This study developed a system that combined the technology of augmented reality (AR) with air pressure detecting device and the concept of game based learning. In this AR gaming system, patients with different extent of hand injuries can squeeze toy ball, through ball pressure control, and manipulate a fish tank computer game, in order to achieve the rehabilitation of hand function.
