Evaluating Perceptional Tasks for Medicine: A Comparative User Study Between a Virtual Reality and a Desktop Application

A Video-Based Augmented Reality System for Human-in-the-Loop Muscle Strength Assessment of Juvenile Dermatomyositis

“…The use of VR and AR technologies in healthcare has been increasing due to the capability they possess to enable a wide range of delivering healthcare applications [9,15,23,32,34,36,40,43,44,49], including the training of physicians and other healthcare professionals, as well as enhancing their ability to provide remote diagnosis services.…”

“…In the field of medical diagnosis [8,15,35,36,40,43,44], VR/AR plays a key role in the useful tool for the human-centered data acquisition. Researchers often build VR/AR scenes to collect human motion data to analyze and diagnose diseases.…”

“…7, all action data exhibit a typical long-tailed distribution, and even for each type of action, the distribution of its sub-categories is highly imbalanced. In the case of the 'head lift' action, there are five grades, with the numbers (10,15,19,13,5,8). According to the third row (w/o RS) of Table 3, the removal of the re-sampling strategy results in a 16.67% reduction in accuracy and a 0.2090 reduction in correlation.…”

From Artifacts to Outcomes: Comparison of HMD VR, Desktop, and Slides Lectures for Food Microbiology Laboratory Instruction

“…Our study conrms this nding and emphasizes the importance of visual and text content for guiding learners' attention in a VR learning environment. When participants experience desktop display, visual awareness is less inter-weaved with text information processing because these visual changes are triggered by relatively abstract navigation interfaces, such as mouse-clicking and button-pressing [24,39,113]. However, in the fully immersive VR space, bodily actions such as walking and head rotation allow participants to perceive a higher level of visual awareness.…”

Narrative medical visualization to communicate disease data

“…Multitouch displays have become very popular as they are intuitive, easy to use, and allow a direct manipulation of the visual data representation. Also, VR environments are increasingly being developed for medical scenarios, such as surgical planning and medical education [64]. It would be interesting to investigate how these media could be combined with narrative techniques to communicate medical data to general audiences.…”
