Multi-Platform Medical Virtual Reality Training

This workshop organized by de Karel de Grote Hogeschool covers the use of ImmersiMed.
ImmersiMed is a platform for immersive virtual reality training aimed at medical personnel. It is aimed at medical educational and professional institutions for educating nurses, doctors and other medical personnel. It is created with multi-platform support and extensibility in mind. By creating consistent experiences across different platforms and applications ImmersiMed intends to increase simulation availability and training time. Furthermore, it is exptected to improve quality of training and prepare students better for more advanced tasks, boost confidence in their abilities and decrease professional anxiety. Tools for educators are being provided so new scenarios can be added without intervention of costly content creators or programmers. We address the current status future of ImmersiMed and VR training in general and discuss how this also helps to lower medical training and simulation costs.
