Analysis of the oculus Rift device as a technological resource in medical training through clinical practice

Abstract

[EN]We present a virtual environment for three-dimensional visualization of a hospital operating room, through stereoscopic rendering, using the Oculus Rift headset with a wide field of vision. The application developed allows immersion into an artificial situation where the user can perceive the virtual experience created by the system as real. The system enables the training and familiarization with the different operating room devices and monitors, as well as with the equipment installed. Therefore, an effective training is accomplished as practice for the real situation the user will face.
