About

Evren Bozgeyikli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of virtual reality and assistive technology, whose work is transforming vocational rehabilitation for individuals with severe physical disabilities. As a key contributor at the University of South Florida’s Center for Assistive, Rehabilitation, and Robotics Technologies (CARRT), Bozgeyikli developed the groundbreaking "VR4VR" system—a virtual reality platform designed to assess and train job-related skills in a safe, immersive environment. This foundational work, cited 25 times, laid the groundwork for integrating serious games into rehabilitation, making skill-building both engaging and effective. Expanding on this, Bozgeyikli’s 2018 study on immersive VR serious games (6 citations) demonstrated how tailored virtual environments can enhance motor and cognitive functions for individuals with physical disabilities, offering a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional therapy. By merging VR technology with rehabilitation science, Bozgeyikli has not only advanced assistive robotics but also opened new pathways for inclusive employment, empowering users to regain independence and participate more fully in the workforce.
