Technical advances in simulation: using 3D visualization to teach clinical skills
Gathering of Healthcare Simulation Technology Specialists (SimGHOSTS) Conference, 2015 (Brisbane, Australia, 24-Jun-2015–26-Jun-2015)
2015
Abstract
This presentation will provide an overview of the use of serious games in clinical simulation to date, a close investigation of the Unity3D platform and its utility in development of clinical simulations, the importance of building a ‘clinical story’ and a snapshot of the emerging technologies that are increasing the realism of such serious games. This includes touchless interfaces, the Oculus Rift VR headset and other related technologies that have been, or are about to be released. Finally, there will be a discussion on the issue of validating outcomes from serious games simulation and increasing educator acceptance of such options.
