The metaverse in medical education and clinical practice

Abstract

[EN]Emerging technologies are boosting the generation of computer-based academic training procedures, which are of great interest in many different fields of the health sciences. Moreover, they allow to create artificial environments that are very close to the real ones, increasing the motivation of the students who use them. The visualization of real images in virtual learning environments is a very efficient way to better understand, study and analyze content knowledge in different areas of the health sciences. In this work we present different immersive virtual and augmented environments, using different models of stereoscopic vision glasses, which constitute a metaverse where content knowledge can be shared for enhanced medical training.
