ABSTRACT
The goal of neurorehabilitation must be to enable patients to participate in personal and occupational life by decreasing their dependency due their disease and increasing their mobility. The way rehabilitation therapy is applied use to be based on therapists' experience and epidemiological data. Actually, at National Autonomous University of Mexico we are developing a library of applications based on videogames technology under Unity SDK to help patients to recover their mobility caused by a neurological accident. In this work we present the advances corresponding the development of a scheme for neurorehabilitation based on virtual systems and 3D scenes. We select two aspects to consider for rehabilitation during a therapy (ocular and head/neck) and developed three 3D scenes for the Oculus Rift device.
