Abstract

In this paper is described the design and development of a KINECT based interactive platform application aimed to physical rehabilitation and cognitive training of the minors in situations of illness. This platform, called TANGO:H, is highly configurable and customizable, thanks to exercises editor: TANGO:H Designer. So, the platform allows the adaptation of exercises and activities according to the specific characteristics of each user and user group.
