Acupuncture is a form of medicine that involves inserting needles into targeted areas of the body and requires knowledge of both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). The process of acquiring such knowledge…

Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners stimulate specific points on the body. Those points, called acupuncture points (or acupoints), anatomically define areas on the skin relative to specific landmarks on the body. However,…

Chinese acupuncture practitioners primarily depend on muscle memory and tactile feedback to insert needles and accurately target acupuncture points, as the current workflow lacks imaging modalities and visual aids. Consequently, new…

Modern medicine demands innovations in medical education, particularly in the learning of human anatomy, traditionally taught through textbooks, dissections, and lectures. Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool to address the…

Extended reality (XR), encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), is emerging as a transformative platform for medical education. Traditional methods such as textbooks, physical models, and cadaveric…

Acupoint therapy is a core therapeutic method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and it requires a high level of expertise and skills to detect acupoints and perform acupuncture and moxibustion. Existing mixed reality (MR)-based…

We introduce a Virtual Reality (VR) one-on-one tutoring system to support anatomy education. A student uses a fully immersive VR headset to explore the anatomy of the base of the human skull. A teacher guides the student by using the…

This work-in-progress paper discusses the use of student-centered pedagogy to teach clinical oculomotor examination via Virtual Reality (VR). Traditional methods, such as PowerPoint slides and lab activities, are often insufficient for…

Augmented reality (AR) has great potential for use in healthcare applications, especially remote medical training and supervision. In this paper, we analyze the usage of an AR communication system to teach a medical procedure, the placement…

We developed a novel virtual reality [VR] platform with 3-dimensional sounds to help improve sensory integration and visuomotor processing for postural control and fall prevention in individuals with balance problems related to sensory…

Anatomy education is an indispensable part of medical training, but traditional methods face challenges like limited resources for dissection in large classes and difficulties understanding 2D anatomy in textbooks. Advanced technologies,…

Mixed Reality (MR) technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR, AR) are well established in medical practice, enhancing diagnostics, treatment, and education. However, there are still some limitations and challenges that may be…

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies has been extensively researched in surgical and anatomical education. VR provides a lifelike and interactive environment where healthcare providers can practice and refresh their skills in a safe…

Virtual Reality (VR) is rapidly increasing in popularity as a teaching tool. It allows for the creation of a highly immersive, three-dimensional virtual environment intended to simulate real-life environments. With more robots saturating…

Traditional medical training faces challenges like ethical concerns, safety risks, and high costs. VR technology offers a promising solution but is limited by low complexity and lack of tactile feedback. This paper presents a cost-effective…

Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) techniques have gained rapid popularity among surgeons since they offer significant clinical benefits including reduced recovery time and diminished post-operative adverse effects. However, conventional…

Contouring is an indispensable step in Radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning. However, today's contouring software is constrained to only work with a 2D display, which is less intuitive and requires high task loads. Virtual Reality (VR) has…

This paper presents the development of a multi-sensor user interface to facilitate the instruction of arc welding tasks. Traditional methods to acquire hand-eye coordination skills are typically conducted through one-to-one instruction…

Deep learning is ubiquitous, but its lack of transparency limits its impact on several potential application areas. We demonstrate a virtual reality tool for automating the process of assigning data inputs to different categories. A dataset…

As life expectancy is mostly increasing, the incidence of many neurological disorders is also constantly growing. For improving the physical functions affected by a neurological disorder, rehabilitation procedures are mandatory, and they…
