01/2007 | it Information Technology (vormals it+ti), Oldenbourg WissenschaftsverlagOBJECTIVES: This paper intends to investigate the role of virtual reality (VR) in medicine. In particular it outlines the current state of research and technology that is relevant to the development of effective virtual environments in medicine. METHODS: After describing the two different visions of VR we can find in medicine the presentation of virtual objects to all of the human senses in a way identical to their natural counterpart, and a new human-computer interaction paradigm in which users are active participants within a computer-generated three-dimensional virtual world the paper presents some of the most interesting applications actually developed in the area...
