| Description | The National Science Foundation funded a project to investigate the use of virtual reality-based rehabilitation exercises, with haptic feedback and remote monitoring and teleconferencing. Dr. Greg Burdea is Principal Investigator of that project, which will finish in August of 2001. A five year grant was received from the New Jersey Commission on Science & Technology in August of 1998 for a multiplexed telerehabilition system. Dr. James Flanagan is the Principal Investigator for that project, and Dr. Burdea is the Co-Principal Investigator. |
