“…This approach can enhance the training of surgical trainees by improving knowledge to perform e cient total knee arthroplasty procedures (20). The correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in health care in the eld of prevention of COVID-19 among employees was also one of the other bene ts of using VR (21). In the eld of gaming, VR games can control the functional and cognitive outcomes of a person and increase their ability to take care of their health (22).…”

Introduction: With the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease and the virtualization of education, many challenges were created in the field of medical education. Many of these challenges were turned into opportunities with the help of new technologies such as virtual reality. The purpose of this research was to investigate the applications of virtual reality in medical education in the era of COVID-19. Methods: We aimed to investigate new technologies’ applications in medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Original English articles were browsed in online databases of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Scienceas of November 24, 2022. Data of eligible publications were extracted following screening/ selection in two steps and applying inclusion/ exclusion criteria. This systematic review follows PRISMA checklist and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) bias assessment tool. Results: Based on the included articles, Microsoft HoloLense2 and Meta Oculus devices were used extensively in medical training studies. In some of the studies, the results demonstrated that the use of these technologies resulted in high levels of engagement, was suitable for training purposes, and decreased the risk of medical learning practicums. Moreover, some studies observed improvement in training compared to traditional training systems. Conclusion: Extended reality use including Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Augmented Reality (AR) concepts in teaching activities and practical procedures can improve the overall educational process, while also increasing engagement, motivation, and understanding of key concepts of participants, especially medical students.

“…VR environments often provide an immersive experience that engages users' visual senses and in some cases, includes tactile and auditory sensations, providing a three-dimensional simulation world for exploration and interaction. VR technology is becoming increasingly important in training and education elds such as medicine, engineering, and science, with exciting new applications emerging in research, training, rehabilitation, remote op-erations, virtual archaeology, and remote immersion [1][2][3][4][5][6]. By creating and controlling dynamic 3D ecologically valid stimulating environments in which action responses can be recorded and measured, VR provides an option for clinical assessment and rehabilitation methods that differ from traditional approaches [7][8][9][10].…”

Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly important in various fields, such as medicine, engineering, and science, and can be used for training and education, clinical assessment, and re- habilitation. VR is widely used in rehabilitation to evaluate and intervene in various diseases, with the potential to improve the balance and gait of patients with neurological disorders and provide additional benefits when combined with traditional rehabilitation methods. However, current VR training systems lack methods and technologies for functionally quantifying training performance. This study implemented VR head-mounted display technology and motion sensing recognition technology to achieve positioning and free movement in a virtual reality space, using motion inter- action functions in different movement modalities to achieve trunk control and balance training. Functional quantification evaluation of trunk control and balance was achieved through algorithms that include movement trajectory, trunk activity, and three-dimensional interval motion perfor- mance. The rehabilitation process of the trainees was digitally captured and updated in real-time to form a functional report, allowing medical staff and patients to understand the rehabilitation progress in real-time and promote rehabilitation effectiveness.

“…Technologies such as VR and AR are widely used in production, work, and entertainment games, and human-computer interaction is greatly enhanced through the use of 3D rendering and real-time accurate positioning techniques. The virtual world has long been a focus not only on the gaming sphere, but also on the manufacturing and educational industries [1]. However, with traditional VR interactive tools, frequent manipulation of the limbs can increase the user's physiological stress.…”

Currently, the biggest obstacle in applying eye tracking technology in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) scenes is the particular difficulty in choosing distance and object distance in 3D scenes. In previous research, geometric calculation methods using vestibular ocular reflex (VOR) and research on binocular visual angle have been studied to some extent, but unfortunately, their effects have not reached a practical level. The paper proposes a new research idea to estimate the depth of binocular gaze using a method of time series eye movement data analysis based on depth learning, and proposes a Mix-Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) optical time series network. By combining VOR and deep learning theory, the paper has realized the current state-of-the-art technology for estimating the depth of gaze from the movement of the gaze.
