How to improve VR use in medical education
A new report could help improve how immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are used in healthcare education and medical training.
Augmented Reality enables the interactive visualization of virtual content embedded in the real environment. We cover the application of AR in medical education and training as AR helps discover the human anatomy and physiology; in surgery as AR visualizes the intricacies of organs and systems.
