13th issue of the ISVR newsletter
Welcome to the 13th issue of the ISVR newsletter. After 12 editions, Kynan Eng, Belinda
Lange and myself are stepping down from the editorial team. As ISVR President, I
thank Kynan and Belinda for their great contributions to our Society and I welcome
the new editorial team, composed of Iris Brunner and Amir Tal.
In the technical profile of this issue, we highlight the Interaction Lab at the Department
of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at Aalborg University in Denmark (Dr.
Hendrik Knoche). Their work is focused on human-computer interaction, especially
regarding people with cognitive and physical challenges. They introduce us to VR@
SN, a system that can be used to assess and train people with spatial neglect after
stroke.
In the clinical profile, we present VihTek, a research and testing center for health technologies in the Danish Capital Region (Tina Myung Birkild Povlsen). Their main task is to identify, evaluate and implement technologies for rehabilitation in collaboration with hospitals, and prepare reports to give recommendations for clinical practice. In this newsletter, the Center reports on their experience with different technologies and patient groups. I would like to congratulate Dr. Sandeep Subramanian and Dr. Rachel Proffitt, the winners of the Third ISVR Early Career Investigator Awardvand to thank them for their outstanding contributions to virtual rehabilitation field. Finally, this newsletter provides information on upcoming conferences and ISVR news.
We are always looking for interesting contributions to the newsletter. If you would like to share your news, upcoming events or an overview of your research, lab, clinic or company, please contact us at newsletter@isvr.org.
Enjoy the reading, and we hope to see you at the upcoming ICDVRAT conference next September in Nottingham (UK).
