Design features of virtual reality foot reflexology stress therapy
This paper presents the design of a VR for foot reflexology stress therapy application, VR-Foot-ReST. Reflexology therapy does natural healing to the body as there are reflex points at human feet and hands which correspond directly to each and every part of a human body. VR-Foot-ReST utilized its vi...
