Propuesta de una guía para integración de kinect en una aplicación web aplicada a la rehabilitación psicológica de niños con cáncer: Caso práctico Fundación Jóvenes Contra el Cáncer.

Abstract

The research allows to implement the Kinect integration guide in a web application for the psychological rehabilitation of children with cancer for “Jóvenes contra el Cáncer” Foundation located in the city of Quito; aims to verify whether to use Kinect, unlike the conventional devices, improves interactivity of children with cancer. The implementation of Kinect (device that allows corporal recognition) will provide a new generation of web applications, because it allows to capture movements, yielding creating natural interface environments, thanks to its connection websocket to communicate bi-directional real time between the Web application and the device. The results of the comparative analysis were performed between two prototypes, with the first prototype a web application that works using “mouse” and keyboard was developed, with the second prototype, a web application integrating Kinect was developed, where it was found that the first prototype has improved interactivity in 14, 89% equivalent to Unacceptable and the second prototype has improved interactivity in 85, 11% equivalent to Acceptable. We conclude that use Kinect on the web exceeds expectations in large numbers, constrasted with the use of standard devices, and improve the psychological rehabilitation of children with cáncer. It is recommended to coordinators of “Jovenes con Cancer” Foundation to carry out further study of voice commands with applications, to improve the interaction of children with cancer.
