This paper presents the preliminary study of an interactive rehabilitation support system for both dementia patients and their caregivers, the goal of which is to improve the quality of life(QOL) of the patients suffering from dementia through virtual interaction. To achieve the virtual interaction, three kinds of recognition modules for speech, facial image and pen-mouse gesture are studied. The results of both practical tests and questionnaire surveys show that the proposed system had to be further improved, especially in both speech recognition and user interface for real-world applications. The surveys also revealed that the pen-mouse gesture recognition, as one of possible interactive aids, show us a probability to support weakness of speech recognition.
