Dr David Cook will demonstrate a new aspect of virtual reality that allows people to ''re-invent'' their hands. Dexterity can be a challenge for some and it is described by the World Health Organisation as a ''perishable skill''. This talk will shine a light on recent progress that shows the benefit of using Virtual Reality (VR) to get around some of the common challenges such as hand tremors and arthritis. David will share new areas of research that shows evidence of enabling older hands to write letters, repair muscle memory in the hands and fingers and restore movement.
