Truong Nguyen collaborated with electrical engineering and bioengineering teams at the Coordinated Science Lab at University of Illinois.
Nguyen’s work as a research intern focused on a rehabilitation project. “My job was to construct a sample Virtual Reality (VR) app for the Meta Quest 3 (a VR headset from Meta) where stroke patients can perform virtual neurological tests,” Nguyen explained. “In the future, doctors and patients will be able to track the rehabilitation process through a cloud platform, which helps encourage patients to practice and allows doctors to monitor their patients’ progress.”
