A Virtual reality (VR) tour of the operating theatre can provide a realistic experience for children. The sample of children was allocated to VR-Documentary Film Group (n = 35), VR-Operating Theater Tour Group (n = 35) and Control Group (n = 35) using randomization and experimental study. The preoperative fear of the children was assessed (Child…

Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming health science education by enabling immersive, interactive learning environments. As global health challenges rise and digital tools proliferate, it is critical to map the evolution of VR's application in health science education, particularly its effects on health outcomes. A bibliometric analysis was…

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a cost-effective suturing and knot typing simulator that aligns with the expectations of experts, addressing the need for affordable yet high-quality medical training tools. The focus was on assessing the efficacy of a silicone skin suture task trainer, created through a 3D printed mold, for use in mobile…

This study aims to explore the factors in a patient's rehabilitation achievement after a total knee replacement (TKR) patient exercises, using a PCA-ANFIS emotion model-based game rehabilitation system, which combines virtual reality (VR) and motion capture technology. The researchers combine a principal component analysis (PCA) and an adaptive…

One of the main issues in language learning is to find ways to enable learners to interact with the language input in an involved task. Given that computer-based simulation allows learners to interact with visual modes, this article examines how the interaction of students with an online video simulation affects their second language video…

Purpose: The aim of this research is the development of a problem-based curriculum for robotic surgical training and its evaluation. Design/methodology/approach: First, the aim and objectives of the curriculum are defined and the background learning theories that guide our work are introduced. The methodology for designing the simulator-based…

This book has an aim to present latest applications, trends and developments of virtual reality technologies in three humanities disciplines: in medicine, psychology and pedagogy. Studies show that people in both educational as well as in the medical therapeutic range expect more and more that modern media are included in the corresponding demand…
