While there have been notable advancements in medical/surgical training, the sector still faces significant challenges that necessitate transformation and optimisation. Conventional training methods often lack realism, are constrained by physical location and infrastructure, and are difficult to simulate effectively.
Every medical professional/surgeon should be able to practice, rehearse, and test their skills in a safe and controlled environment. This is where VR training can play a crucial role.
While virtual training applications exist, technology has limited them in providing a seamless transition from traditional training to a fully immersive virtual experience. The missing element has been the ability to simulate detailed finger interactions.
MST project demonstrates the development of a VR collaborative medical training application based on the Magos Platform. Thanks 6 G technology enables two surgical trainees in the healthcare industry to interact remotely using their fingers in near real-time. So, it provides a lifelike experience, enabling users to interact with their virtual environment as if it were the real world. This realism in finger interaction is crucial for developing the dexterity required for complex surgical tasks.
