Gaze interaction presents a promising avenue in Virtual Reality (VR) due to its intuitive and efficient user experience. Yet, the depth control inherent in our visual system remains underutilized in current methods. In this study, we…
Extended reality (XR) technologies-encompassing virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) are transforming cognitive assessment and training by offering immersive, interactive environments that simulate real-world…
In this study, we investigate how the central nervous system (CNS) organizes postural control synergies when individuals perform a complex catch-and-throw task in a virtual reality (VR) environment. A Robotic Upright Stand Trainer (RobUST)…
This study evaluates the usage of virtual reality (VR) technologies as a teaching tool in oral placement therapy, a subset of speech therapy. The researcher distributed instructional videos using traditional lecture and modified…
Virtual reality (VR) technology can be used to treat anxiety symptoms and disorders. However, most VR interventions for anxiety have been therapist guided rather than self-guided. This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness…
Introduction: Safety criteria in surgical VR training are typically hard-coded and informally summarized. The Virtual Reality (VR) content creation interface, TIPS-author, for the Toolkit for Illustration of Procedures in Surgery (TIPS)…
Surgical emergencies often trigger acute cognitive overload in novice physicians, impairing their decision-making under pressure. Although Virtual Reality-based Stress Inoculation Training (VR-SIT) shows promise, current systems fall short…
Meditation, or mindfulness, is widely used to improve mental health. With the emergence of Virtual Reality technology, many studies have provided evidence that meditation with VR can bring health benefits. However, to our knowledge, there…
During lockdown, we piloted a variety of augmented reality (AR) experiences in collaboration with subject matter experts from different fields aiming at creating remote teaching and training experiences. In this paper, we present a case…
Medical procedures such as venipuncture and cannulation are essential for nurses and require precise skills. Learning this skill, in turn, is a challenge for educators due to the number of teachers per class and the complexity of the task.…
During Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) operations, the surgeon is required to define the incision point on the patient's back, align the needle to a pre-planned path, and perform puncture operations afterward. The procedure is currently…
Objective: Virtual Reality (VR) is a technological interface that allows users to interact with a simulated environment. VR has been used extensively for mental health and clinical research. Mental health disorders are globally burdening…
Surgical training involves didactic teaching, mentor-led learning, surgical skills laboratories, and direct exposure to surgery; however, increasing clinical pressures have limited operating room (OR) exposure. This work leverages virtual…
This paper introduces a novel interaction method for virtual and augmented reality called look-and-twist, which is directly analogous to point-and-click operations using a mouse and desktop. It is based on head rotation alone and is…
Accurate needle placement in spine interventions is critical for effective pain management, yet it depends on reliable identification of anatomical landmarks and careful trajectory planning. Conventional imaging guidance often relies both…
Virtual Reality (VR) techniques, serving as the bridge between the real and virtual worlds, have boomed and are widely used in manufacturing, remote healthcare, gaming, etc. Specifically, VR systems offer users immersive experiences that…
As virtual reality (VR) technology becomes more pervasive, it continues to find multiple new uses beyond research laboratories. One of them is distance adult education -- the potential of VR to provide valuable education experiences is…
Stroke patients often experience upper limb impairments that restrict their mobility and daily activities. Physical therapy (PT) is the most effective method to improve impairments, but low patient adherence and participation in PT…
Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide, requiring rapid and informed clinical decision-making. A solid spatial understanding of cerebrovascular anatomy and vascular territories in relation to stroke symptoms…
