2013 1st Workshop on Virtual and Augmented Assistive Technology (VAAT)

Over the past several decades, there has been a host of research conducted to improve rehabilitation and enable assistive technology for persons with disabilities (e g, cognitive, physical) through augmented and virtual realities However, the technology driving this area needs to advance towards the state of the art We believe this situation could be improved if the two contributing communities to this area the technology and the clinical communities had greater opportunity for more direct interaction and collaboration to advance the field This demonstrated need for collaboration and discussion between these two communities is the primary purpose of this workshop
