When?

Collaborators from the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) 

have published a study entitled Capturing the Perceived Phantom Limb through Virtual Reality, 

in the journal Advances in Human-Computer Interaction of 5/Sep/2016

What?

The aim of this project was to develop a system to  communicate the sensations those with phantom limb pain were experiencing accurately 

and 

to develop a friendly interface through which patients can adjust a 3D model to best fit their phantom limb position. 

How?

For this project, the authors applied advanced virtual reality technology to capture the perceived arm position of the phantom limb.
