Mixed Reality to Manage Phantom Pain (Mr. MAPP)
Originating in VA North Texas, Dallas VA Medical Center, Mixed Reality to Manage Phantom Pain (Mr. MAPP) harnesses Mixed Reality (a variety of Virtual Reality) and computer vision technologies to generate a 3D model of a Veteran's limb to simulate a missing limb in real-time. Mr. MAPP provides an innovative solution to a Veteran experiencing phantom limb pain, a chronic pain sensation in a missing (or amputated) limb that impacts the Veteran's quality of life and physical and mental health. Mr. MAPP offers an interactive movement experience for Veterans in a creatively designed virtual environment with potential for use at home to self-manage phantom limb pain.
