Scientists have developed an early diagnosis system based on virtual reality (VR) that may allow devices like Google Glass to detect neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, within minutes. The developers use already existing devices such as Google augmented glasses and Kinect sensor system. A person without disorders quickly adapts to VR and keeps a stable position, a person with disorders can not adapt and loses balance. The experiment engaged both healthy people and those whom doctors had already been found disorders by," said Ivan Tolmachov from TPU. "Therefore, it is so important to diagnosis the disease at early stages when patient can still get help," he said.
