Abstract:
Virtual reality is a term used to describe a simulated reality, where the user is shown the simulated world instead of the real world by using a headset.Virtual Reality is a technology based on computer which assimilates specialized input and output devices by allowing the user to interact with and experience an artificial created environment as if they were in the real world. Virtual Reality is a three dimensional computer based interactive environment which simulate reality. In these virtual or synthetic environments , one have to take into account various physics laws like gravity ,air , resistance , and speed etc. Healthcare systems generate enormous and constant amounts of knowledge and information unlike 30 years ago, thus presenting a challenge to healthcare professionals to adapt to such information brokerage. To overcome such challenges, advanced technological innovations offer tools to aid in healthcare professionals’ education and training. One of the promising tools is Virtual Reality (VR) Training where healthcare is considered one of the biggest adopters. Applications of virtual training in healthcare at present vary in both the multimedia sophistication and the types of skills educated, ranging from tele-surgical applications to interactive simulations of human body and brain for emergency medicine training
