Over the past few years, the popularity of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies has only been on a steady rise because of its wide variety of applications. One of them is the Virtual Reality Therapy which uses an artificially created environment to give a subject a simulated experience that can be used to diagnose and treat physical conditions causing difficulties for patients to move their body parts. In this paper, we propose an improved version of the creative line art drawing game in an immersive VR environment as a tool for enjoyable physical therapy for upper extremities. We conducted a human subjects study and concluded that adding a dimension to an existing 2D model improved the perceived range of motion of participants and their perception of difficulty.
