Abstract:
This webinar will showcase innovative NEW technologies which seamlessly blend the real world with full-color passthrough Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, like those from HTC Vive, providing clinical instructors a level of high-fidelity virtual patient simulation experiences in existing clinical spaces like they have never seen before. These new XR technologies mix your reality in a whole new way, allowing educators to blend traditional physical sim labs into immersive experiences. Task trainers, standardized patients, and peripheral equipment can be used effectively with mixed reality simulation breathing new life into your expensive simulation space. Simulation programs that are researching VR headsets but are concerned about the value of their existing sim equipment, will realize ways to leverage those technologies in innovative new ways.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand Mixed Reality Hardware: Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the hardware components of mixed reality technology and how they function within simulation environments.
- Maximize Existing Resources: Attendees will learn strategies to leverage their current simulation infrastructure and equipment, enhancing their training capabilities without the need for additional space or significant new investments.
- Explore Practical Applications: Attendees will see an example use case of mixed reality in a nursing sim center today.
