Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging technology that alters the wayindividuals interact with computers: a 3Dcomputer-generated environment in which a person can move about andinteract as if he actually was inside it. Given to the highcomputational power required to create virtual enviroments, theseare usually developed on expensive high-end workstations. However,the significant advances in PC hardware that have been made overthe last three years, are making PC-based VR a possible solutionfor clinical assessment and therapy. VREPAR - Virtual Reality Environments for PsychoneurophysiologicalAssessment and Rehabilitation - are two European Community fundedprojects (Telematics for health - HC 1053/HC 1055 -http://www.psicologia.net) that are trying to develop amodular PC-based virtual reality system for the medical market. The paper describes the rationale of the developed modules and thepreliminary results obtained.
