Abstract
Head-mounted extended reality (XR) has emerged as a powerful tool in medical education for simulation of clinical and surgical situations. Another potentially powerful clinical tool of XR may be to help clinicians further understand disease from the patient’s perception. In our work to develop a training tool for astronauts undergoing interplanetary gravitational transitions, we identified a unique opportunity to also develop this emerging tool for clinicians specializing in vestibulo-ocular disease. By emulating patient perception of disease, this may increase understanding and clinical insight into clinical care in the future. This work is a component of a developing NASA-funded, head-mounted multimodal visual assessment framework to assess for subtle changes in astronaut vision. XR is a promising tool to help further understand patient perception of disease, and may one day serve as a useful countermeasure for both individuals on Earth and in space.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace (IJAAA) is a peer-reviewed publication for scholars from a variety of backgrounds including educators, industry personnel, and government researchers. The editorial focus is on the global issues that are currently facing the aviation, aeronautics, and aerospace segments. Example subject areas that would be appropriate for inclusion in the journal are: Underrepresented groups in aviation/aerospace Current aviation problems and solutions (e.g. NextGen, airport delays) Space launch and operations/missions Air traffic control Aeronautical engineering Unmanned systems Government research in aviation/aerospace Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education Crew and general resource management Aviation/aeronautics/aerospace primary, secondary, and higher education Aviation/aerospace manufacturing Aviation/aerospace safety Aviation/aerospace security Aviation/aerospace training Aviation/aerospace education Aviation/aerospace meteorology Aviation/aerospace navigation and avionics systems Aviation/aerospace maintenance Aviation/aerospace finance and management Aviation/aerospace logistics Aviation/aerospace legislation and regulation Aviation/aerospace medicine
