Background
Ten years ago, medical virtual reality (VR) technologies represented interesting research
curiosities, but practical, affordable and specific medical devices were regarded as
distant goals. However, recent technological and manufacturing breakthroughs in computer
imaging, software, hardware, and display devices resulted in a shift in priorities from
technology development to proof of concept, clinical testing and commercialization of VR
technologies. By the year 2000 significant commercial applications are expected in over
twenty areas of medicine.This report offers the reader a clear grasp of how
technological advances allow the development of commercially feasible medical VR devices
for use in many areas of medical education and training. AdvanceTech Monitor analysts
provide the insight and expertise required to assemble and filter the vast body of
information from these technologies into a well organized, comprehensive document along
with critical analysis.
