Abstract:
This paper aims to review existing solutions for Virtual Reality Learning Environments related to Medical Training. It looks at the technology that is utilised by different applications and investigates the methodologies employed in the development of immersive applications. This paper identifies some critical strengths for Virtual Reality Medical Training applications, such as the reduction of risk to practitioners and patients, and the ability to simulate complex scenarios that in real-world practice would be hard to reproduce.
