HelpMe!: A Serious Game for Rehabilitation of Children Affected by CVI

Abstract

CVI (Cerebral Visual Impairment) is the leading cause of visual impairment in the United States and the Western Europe. Due to the high number of different inabilities that children could have when affected by CVI, it is crucial for the rehabilitation process to start from a good assessment, especially at early ages. In this paper we present HelpMe!, a serious game to improve the rehabilitation process for these children with a system able to adapt the exercises to each particular child and to his/her improvements. The system integrates an eye tracker system to correctly measure the performances of the child and his/her capability to watch and touch a moving object at the same time.
