Abstract

We present a multi-user virtual reality (VR) setup that aims at providing novel training tools for paramedics that enhances current learning methods. The hardware setup consists of a two-user full-scale VR environment with head-mounted displays for two interactive trainees and one additional desktop pc for one trainer participant. The software provides a connected multi-user environment, showcasing a paramedic emergency simulation with focus on anaphylactic shock, a representative scenario for critical medical cases that happen too rare to eventually occur within a regular curricular term of vocational training. The prototype offers hands-on experience on multi-user VR in an applied scenario, generating discussion around current state and future development concerning three important research areas: (a) user navigation, (b) interaction, (c) level of visual abstraction, and (d) level of task abstraction.

多用户虚拟现实在协同医学训练中的应用

我们提出了一个多用户虚拟现实(VR)设置，旨在为护理人员提供新的培训工具，增强当前的学习方法。硬件设置包括两个用户的全尺寸VR环境，为两个互动式受训者提供头戴式显示器，为一个培训参与者提供额外的桌面pc。该软件提供了一个连接的多用户环境，展示了一个以过敏性休克为重点的急救模拟，这是一种典型的情况，用于罕见的严重医疗病例，最终无法在职业培训的常规课程期限内发生。该原型在应用场景中提供了多用户VR的实践体验，围绕三个重要研究领域的现状和未来发展进行了讨论:(a)用户导航，(b)交互，(c)视觉抽象水平，(d)任务抽象水平。
