The game was created in collaboration with Felipe Vece and Juan Pablo Boero, who composed the game’s original soundtrack . It uses Kinect technology for motion detection, incorporates physical therapy techniques, and helps people with neuromuscular difficulties develop new movements, such as shoulder rotations, precision movements, and flexibility in the wrists and elbows.
The software is currently in its final stage, awaiting validation by Teletón so it can be incorporated into its children’s therapy and rehabilitation programs.
“One of the team’s initial ideas was to create value for society, helping people improve their quality of life,” García told El Observador’s “Cromo” website.
The project allows users to configure the patient’s name and type of disability, as well as the type of rehabilitation and physical therapy to be performed. Meanwhile, the physician can determine the duration of the game and the number of characters that appear.
The students also entered this project in the regional“Imagine Cup”competition organized by Microsoft, which took place on April 15 in Buenos Aires.
