Abstract

A tool designed to assess and rehabilitate memory in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or People with Dementia (PwD) is presented. This tool includes a touch table equipped with a 3D camera on top for motion capture and a 3D Virtual Kitchen application. The aim is to assess and strengthen their ability to memorize and reproduce the activity of preparing a cup of sweetened coffee with milk. An errorless learning method has been implemented to prevent the user from performing and remembering any erroneous actions while performing the task. We conducted a preliminary study with eight healthy participants to investigate the usability of the solution. The results suggest that Virtual Kitchen on Hôsea touch table is user-friendly, motivating, and requires a moderate workload. We assume that the use of the touch table to interact with the virtual objects will optimize the rehabilitation process for instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
