Virtual Reflexo: A VR training tool for Reflexologist

Created for the French Organization of Reflexology, this simulation tool is used to train reflexologists. Trainees learn about connections between specific areas of the feet and organs of the human body. As they stimulate zones on a plaster foot that serves as the application interface, the movements of colored stickers placed on their fingernails are captured by webcams interfaced with Virtools technology. Thus trainees directly see on screen how the areas they stimulate correspond to specific body organs. The application was developed by MNRV (Masters in Digital Modelling and Virtual Reality) student and won Medecine and Health Trophy at Laval Virtual.
