Abstract
We have researched and developed the virtual reality system for the rehabilitation support. The system has been implemented on the Linux environment using Mesa-4.0.2 that is the graphic library compatible with OpenGL. We have implemented the space-saving and low-cost prototype system for the mental rehabilitation. This paper deals with the introduction of the stepper as a new input device.
