The objective of this research is the development of equipments to be used in the rehabilitation of people who suffer with somatosensory losses.The equipments substitutes the tactile response by a visual response using sensors that transduce the pressure applied on them into electric signals. The project is still ongoing consists mainly in two projects: the first is a gloves with sensors in the fingertips, that currently is on the montage of the second prototype, and the second project, with is still under development, is a board game which aims the interaction of the player's hand pressure with the game's electronic system.
