Abstract

EDITOR'S SUMMARY

Greg Welch, chair of healthcare simulation at University of Central Florida, spoke at the 2016 ASIS&T Annual Meeting as the first plenary speaker. He discussed the meaning of a telepresence valley, which is the gap between people in a situation where telepresence is involved. Welch noted that telepresence is markedly different from telecollaboration and, in an ideal telepresence situation, people from different remote locations can feel they are together in one common location. One telepresence application, TLE TeachLivE, is a simulated classroom that allows teachers to improve their skills in interacting with students. TLE simulates avatar students that react to the teacher, thus giving realistic feedback in real time. Welch also discussed applications in the healthcare industry, such as a touch-sensitive mannequin head that Welch and his team are developing to react to the actions of a provider.

架起网真山谷的桥梁:格雷格·韦尔奇的演讲
编辑总结:中佛罗里达大学(University of Central Florida)医疗保健模拟专业主席格雷格•韦尔奇(Greg Welch)在2016年美国医疗保健学会(asist)年会上作为第一位全体发言人发表了讲话。他讨论了网真谷的含义,即在涉及网真的情况下人与人之间的差距。韦尔奇指出,远程呈现与远程协作明显不同,在理想的远程呈现情况下,来自不同远程位置的人们可以感觉他们在一个共同的位置。一款名为“TLE TeachLivE”的远程呈现应用是一种模拟教室,可以让教师提高与学生互动的技能。TLE模拟了学生对老师做出反应的化身,从而实时给出真实的反馈。韦尔奇还讨论了该技术在医疗保健行业的应用,比如韦尔奇和他的团队正在开发的一种触觉敏感的人体模型头部,它可以对医疗服务提供者的行为做出反应。
