Home Cooked
VR Unity game
About Home Cooked
Home Cooked aims to provide hand therapists a digital tool so they may effectively monitor their patients' treatment without having to be physically present in the hospital.
Parallel to this, the game was designed to make the recovery process for patients with hand injuries exciting and enjoyable.
