Abstract(s)
The quality of life in older people deteriorates faster, depending if these have a sedentary lifestyle. Technology is used as a tool in various fields and there are some applications that have been developed to encourage sports through entertainment, this is the case of the Nintendo Wii. The positive impact of this kind of application has been the base in the development of this research. Our proposal focuses on the easy handling of a drone by sensing arm movements through wearable devices, and providing an immersive experience of being in a different place using virtual reality glasses. The aim is to promote the user's cognitive development, due to the hand-eye coordination required to control the drone. Finally, this research, manages to integrate virtual reality with Bluetooth technologies, establishing real-time communication with wearable devices and human movement.
