Abstract

As a method for evaluating the unilateral spatial neglect that occurs as a sequela of cerebral infarction, a system combining a display with a touch panel and a line-of-sight tracking device has been proposed. However, movement of the head cannot be avoided, and the measurement accuracy of the line of sight is not sufficient. Therefore, in this research, we propose an application of smartphone-based virtual reality as a tool for evaluating unilateral spatial neglect. Because it is realized as an application on a smartphone, it can be easily used at low cost, and it can be expected to be used in day clinics and in at-home medical care. In this study, we evaluated the system for patients and therapists by actually using the proposed system.
