VR 101 IMSH 2018
This document provides an overview of virtual reality for clinical education. It introduces four faculty members working in this area and their backgrounds. The objectives are to introduce VR concepts for education and best uses. Considerations for integrating VR into curricula include student numbers, time per simulation, and technical support needs. Design challenges like motion sickness and frame rates are discussed. A layered learning model is presented for situating VR experiences within education. Questions from attendees are solicited at the end.

- 6. Objectives • Participants will be introduced to the concept of Virtual Reality within the context of Clinical Education • Participants will gain an understanding of best use cases for the integration of virtual reality solutions into existing curricula • Participants will be introduced to contemporary pedagogy that supports VR and multi-media simulation.
- 7. Integration into Curriculum Considerations: • Number of students • Time of each simulation and number of iterations • Self study or multiple stations to circle through • Need for technical support • Availability of faculty or instructional staff – Bot versus faculty/staff debriefing
- 8. Let’s Not Puke • Sensory Mismatch between visual and vestibular systems • The world moves and you as an actual person do not – Your inner senses motion that is not actually occurring » Equals Immediate motion sickness » Virtual Vertigo • Tracking Volume – Sensor Range: Player has to stay within calibrated Sensor Range – If Player gets out of range tracking errors » Causes immediate motion sickness » Virtual Vertigo – Sensor Bouncing and Blocking » Set up problems: Something in way of sensor, movement of sensor • Frame Rate – Attention to model complicity: Optimal rate is 90 frames per second » If the frame rate is lower than 90 you get significant lag • Your head is moving faster than the virtual world Comfortable VR: Best Development Methods and Operations
- 9. Perils and Pitfalls of Design & Operational Setup • Be conscious of the relationship of in-world and virtual world mechanics – Weight & balance of headset – Virtual ergonomics • Room Temp – Too hot can instigate/exacerbate motion sickness • Application Clearance – Relationship between player and real world environment/obstacles

Build – You hire a 3rd Party Vendor Custom Build a VR Solution More control but more expensive Buy - Existing Content Is an existing VR solution or product available to meet your needs, goals, objectives? Generally low initial cost Beware – trying to customize existing off the shelf products may be costly or not even possible

- 14. Questions for the Panel • Is VR always the best simulation or game-based solution? • Why should we integrate VR into our Curriculum? • Where is it in the technology development & adoption life-cycle. • VR 2.0 for Learning • Can you make a distinction between a virtual environment in VR and a immersive VR learning experience… – For example the difference between Second Life and Grand Theft Auto.
