A distributed virtual reality‐based system for neonatal decision‐making training

Abstract

In many fields of education, there is a significant gap between theoretical study and practical apprenticeship, which training in virtual environments (VEs) can close. Recently, a standalone prototype for virtual reality (VR)-based training in neonatal decisionmaking, called Virtual Delivery Room (VIDERO) was developed. This prototype enables a simple and time-efficient simulation of the arbitrary postnatal critical situations. The purpose behind this paper is twofold: to outline the role of trainee's immersion into VIDERO environment and to addresses the need for assessment and upgrading of training scenarios. In particular, the distributed services enabling fine-tuning of both virtual patient's behavioral model and trainee's interventions through the practice and user interactions in shared VE are described.

Virtual interactive e‐learning application: An evaluation of the student satisfaction

“…Gerdprasert et al develop a web‐based learning media on the process and mechanism of labor for the third‐year university nursing and midwifery students. Holobar et al present the design and implementation of a real‐time system for virtual reality (VR)‐based training in neonatal medicine, with main emphasis on simple creation of various training scenarios.…”
