Reaching for objects is essential in powered wheelchair (PW) mobility. For PW users, learning how to navigate their PW to reach for objects safely, as in daily activities, is crucial to their quality of life. Training for such PW use is limited due to lack of dedicated space, time, or equipment. Addressing these issues, the McGill Immersive Wheelchair (miWe) simulator is a virtual reality (VR) system for teaching PW driving skills that runs on an ordinary computer. However, a practical and low-cost training tool for reaching tasks does not exist for the miWe or any other PW simulator. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a $150 3D hand motion controller (Razer Hydra, Sixense, USA), as an interface for training reaching tasks...
