VR, AR and Simulation in Medical Education
VR, AR and Simulation in Medical Education Looking at research on medical education, progress has been made in regards to moving learning materials into virtual reality, augmented reality and digitally simulated environments. What was once subject matter primarily taught through in-class instruction has been reproduced utilizing simulation and VR/AR applications. In research, these models are better received than traditional methods of videos and instructor demonstrations regarding realism, identifying landmarks, visualization of internal organs, ease of use, usefulness, and promoting learning and understanding ( Aebersold et al., 2018). These scenarios and simulations will encourage the learner to apply their knowledge, gain skills, and attain mastery of various medical procedures. In recent years several simulation-based serious games have been successfully developed for mastering specific content, indicating the high potential of simulation used for pedag...
