From tapping to gripping and squeezing, everyday hand movements become a challenge for those who have lost some hand function. That's where In Hand comes in.

In Hand is a product kit that assists users in exercising hand function through TAR (Tangible Augmented Reality) technology. The product includes an interactive exercise set that allows users to engage and interact with their fingers and palms through a ergonomic design that captures natural hand movements. The product package is set up with an Arduino and Unity based AR game system that combines digital tools to record and guide the user's interaction with In Hand, providing real-time feedback and progress monitoring.

I wanted to enhance user motivation and engagement in the process. Ultimately, my goal is to allow users to regain control and strength in their hands through personalized and enjoyable training.
