Virtual Reality in Medical Applications

Abstract

Virtual Reality in Medical Applications By: Robert Arreola, Alex Berg, Jerall Jones and Dr. Jawad Virtual Reality technology has become increasingly effective in training and education, especially in the medical field. Using virtual reality, the medical profession has improved in the areas of medical treatment, recovery and patient awareness. This study outlines the framework and components used in medical training procedures, such as programming languages, software and hardware. We describe the use of the Unity software in a number of virtual reality applications. We present the use of virtual reality to decrease the cost of spatial co-registration of electrode positions with individual head models (EEG). We present a new method for building virtual assembly applications which is more efficient than traditional.
