Training Fine Motor Skills in the Hands with Game Elements

This thesis describes the development of a prototype for task-specific training of the fine motor skills in the hands. The prototype consists of a physical faucet as training object and a digital training that implements game elements. Evaluations showed problems with the sensors that could partially be solved by using appropriate filters. Expert evaluations of the user interface and game mechanics revealed that the visual elements and movement objectives had to be simpler than one might expect initially.
