Abstract

As technology advances, mobile devices have gradually turned into wearable devices, and Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) as well as Mixed Reality (MR) have been applied more and more widely. For example, VR, AR and MR are applied in the medical fields like medical education and training, surgical simulation, neurological rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and telemedicine. Related research result has proved that VR, AR and MR ameliorate inconvenience of traditional medical care, reduce medical malpractice caused by unskilled operation, and lower the cost of medical education and training. Moreover, the application has enhanced effectiveness of medical education and training, raised the level of diagnosis and treatment, improved the doctor-patient relationship, and boosted efficiency of medical execution. This study introduces VR, AR, and MR applications in medical practices and education, and aims to help health professionals know more about these applications, becoming interested to improve the quality of medical care via the technology.

Highlights

  • Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are something well-known nowadays

  • VR compromised of many information is presented based on LBS technology, displaying features that are ideal for surgical simulation training, the player's geographic location in real-time, combined with rehabilitation, pain management, behavioral therapy, such as: the AR technology Players experience the process of capturing

  • VR surgery simulation: VR technology will be increasingly common for surgical training, doctors use the VR technology to carry out virtual surgery training which can reduce the possibility of operational errors in the future

Summary

Introduction

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are something well-known nowadays. As the technology and software body are getting advanced, VR and AR have been commonly used in the field of health services, hospitality, education, tourism, cultural, military, construction, design, engineering, gaming, entertainment and so on. VR compromised of many information is presented based on LBS technology, displaying features that are ideal for surgical simulation training, the player's geographic location in real-time, combined with rehabilitation, pain management, behavioral therapy, such as: the AR technology Players experience the process of capturing. AR is an education related applications extension of VR, which enhances the perceived effect of VR and AR are increasingly being used in the medical field integrating virtual information or objects into a real-world [6,7] as VR surgical simulation systems that provide trainee or environment via computer-generated images, objects, inexperienced surgeons with surgical training when operating information or scenes and interaction to enhance the a VR surgical simulation system, you can simulate the realism perception [5]. The following shows a brief description of current related applications and APPs in healthcare practices and healthcare education
