Burn trauma is a curse, and not all patients have the mental ability to cope with it. It is understood that a burned appearance with scars for a person who has looked normal before the tragedy can be shocking, but your PS Eye Toy can do wonders to help redeem that individual. As per Dr. Joseph Haik, a renowned plastic surgeon and burns specialist from Israel, the Eye Toy gives the burn trauma person a chance to accept their changed appearance. The Eye Toy uses gesture recognition and computer vision to place a user inside the game he is playing bringing a camera into use.
This technique helps the patients to get acclimatised to their changed appearance which helps combat depression and improve self image. It is necessary to get used to the scars on the body as that is an important part of healing.
The Eye Toy acts as an immediate distraction for the patients to forget the trauma and helps them overcome self-image problems and over a period of time they learn to accept themselves. Another advantage of this therapy is that the patients do not come in direct contact with anything (unlike virtual reality games) therefore the risk of an infection is minimal.
