Knowing how to clean virtual reality headsets has become an important point of discussion as simulation educators begin to use this technology for their learners. The first things to know and implement are basic principles of hygiene and compliance with institutional regulatory standards of sanitation. Knowing the various components of virtual reality headsets and the [...]

Haptic VR gloves enable the wearer to reach out and “touch” their virtual reality experience through simulated feeling. This new type of wearable device can be used within the field of healthcare simulation to empower learners to better connect to the tactile feeling of their clinical experience, whether it is the pressure of bone in [...]

To help lead the way in changing from educating surgeons on cadavers, the UpSurgeOn project strives to empower the learning and teaching methods of neuroanatomy and neurosurgery through high-tech cognitive, virtual and physical technologies. To reach a universal framework for all surgeries, the project envisions a new generation of highly-trained surgeons whom are certified through [...]

The healthcare simulation company, Universal Simulation UK (Uni Sim), has launched the world’s first portable haptic and VR simulator for dentists. This innovation is designed to help learners who are quarantining, or unable to physically be at the university, to continue practicing patient treatments virtually, at any time from the comfort of their own homes.
