Solidarity

Hello and good morning to all the readers.

First of all I would like to send my solidarity to the French people. My thoughts and prayers are with the French people. – In a future post I will write about how can VR help coping with terrorist hostage scenario. 

In my last post I started to elaborate more about VR and Medicine. I will continue today.

Last time we talked first about Psychiatry and exposure therapy – a comment that I got talked about the huge potential existing I connecting VR medicine with VR porn – creating aa product that will help people with sexual dysfunction problems and fear of social interactions. I really liked the comment and  the idea. I will write a bit more about it I future post. If you have more ideas please comment. In the meantime enjoy this links : www.pornorealidadvirtual.net ; www.pornvrmovie.com

Next topic in VR and Medicine will be :

Surgical training

Training for surgeons usually involves gradual process of assisting more experienced doctors before taking over tasks and bigger portions of the surgery. Virtual reality could provide another means of practice, without any risk to real patients. It takes 4-6 years in most countries to become a skilled general surgeon and at least 2 years more to be expert in a specific kind of surgery. 

This is a huge amount of time that can be shortened with good training tools like Virtual Reality.

Today there are Surgery simulators that even include haptic feedback for those doing the training. The simulators use CT scans from patients to create 3D models for practice, and it's been in use since 2002. 

So this field is not new but with today advancement in technologies there is a big potential for better simulation and better training techniques that in the end will enable surgeons to master their work and skills and be able to perform more difficult tasks and faster.

….. to be continued there’s a lot more

Yours
