Virtual reality (VR) technology enables the simulation of certain learning scenarios that would be risky or difficult to set up or repeatedly replicate in the actual world. This paper introduces a VR simulator created for this aim with the assistance of social educators. The purpose...
Given its ability to create immersive space-temporal environments, virtual reality could be useful in improving the sequential time perception. In particular, adding the engagement factor, we believe that a virtual reality based game could be a very promising tool for training. This paper presents ...
Virtual reality technologies (VRTs) are high-tech human–computer interfaces used to develop digital content and can be applied to multiple different

The Virtual Reality Simulator offers a cutting-edge tool to help develop more confident, efficient forklift operators.
PURPOSE: To examine the educational value of URO Mentor, a virtual reality simulator for endourologic procedures, by establishing its face and content validity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-nine urologists and residents in urology performed a urethrocystoscopy task (bladder inspection, biopsy, and coa...
Objectives:Lumbar puncture (LP) is performed by inserting a needle into the spinal canal to extract cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. A virtual reality (VR) lumbar puncture simulator based on real patient data has been developed and evaluated. Methods:A haptic device with six degrees of...
Virtual reality (VR), the use of computer modeling and simulation that enables a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or other sensory environment. VR applications immerse the user in a computer-generated environment that
This study aimed to investigate the effect of a virtual reality simulator on the learning of basic robotic suturing skills.Two randomized groups of students underwent a controlled training program. Both groups completed an identical test before and after training. The increase in the number of stitch...
Virtual simulations are used throughout healthcare training programs to enable development of clinical skills, however the potential for virtual simulation to enhance cognitive and affective skills is less well understood. This study explored pre-clinical optometry students’ perceptions of the impact of ...
