Unlocking eXtended Realities for Medical Interfaces

Abstract:

Extended Reality (XR) medical interfaces refer to interactive systems that use emerging technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) to advance the way medical care, training, and education are delivered and experienced. This talk will explore XR core concepts, unfold the design process, and provide guidelines for prototyping an XR medical interface. Additionally, several projects will be showcased, demonstrating the design of XR interfaces and interaction techniques for medical applications.
