“…A high-quality HMD provided optimal display size, refresh rates, and display resolution. It allowed for replication of the high-fidelity environment, a high level of control and a better pictorial realism leading to higher immersion and SoP (Diemer et al, 2015;Huber et al, 2018). Nevertheless, technology alone can fall short of achieving SoP (Wallach, Safir, & Samana, 2010).…”

“…Current research studies employing VR-HMDs are still ongoing. This includes scientific applications involving surgical training ( Karvonen et al, 2017 ; Huber et al, 2018 ) and psychological interventions ( Laver et al, 2015 ; Chirico et al, 2016 ).…”

“…The HTC Vive ( Figure 14B ) and the Oculus Rift CV1 HMDs are two excellent lightweight solutions for carrying visualization tasks and interactivity in 3D space, with the former being a few steps ahead when it comes to FOV and tracking area ( Huber et al, 2018 ). Consequently, we exploited the HTC Vive for the development of a VR visualization and interactive analysis tool called VR Data Interact, deposited in a Dryad repository ( Figure 14C ; Agus et al, 2018a , b ).…”

A Process for Digitizing and Simulating Biologically Realistic Oligocellular Networks Demonstrated for the Neuro-Glio-Vascular Ensemble

One will not understand the brain without an integrated exploration of structure and function, these attributes being two sides of the same coin: together they form the currency of biological computation. Accordingly, biologically realistic models require the re-creation of the architecture of the cellular components in which biochemical reactions are contained. We describe here a process of reconstructing a functional oligocellular assembly that is responsible for energy supply management in the brain and creating a computational model of the associated biochemical and biophysical processes. The reactions that underwrite thought are both constrained by and take advantage of brain morphologies pertaining to neurons, astrocytes and the blood vessels that deliver oxygen, glucose and other nutrients. Each component of this neuro-glio-vasculature ensemble (NGV) carries-out delegated tasks, as the dynamics of this system provide for each cell-type its own energy requirements while including mechanisms that allow cooperative energy transfers. Our process for recreating the ultrastructure of cellular components and modeling the reactions that describe energy flow uses an amalgam of state-of the-art techniques, including digital reconstructions of electron micrographs, advanced data analysis tools, computational simulations and in silico visualization software. While we demonstrate this process with the NGV, it is equally well adapted to any cellular system for integrating multimodal cellular data in a coherent framework.

“…Due to the costly nature of this course, training opportunities for the students are sparse. Following the approach of Huber et al [7], conducting the examination in virtual reality (VR) is a promising alternative. This reduces costs and time investments for the examination experts as well a providing students multiple training opportunities.…”

Patient handover is an important part for information transfer between medical professionals in a clinical setting. Yet, in current medical education, these conversations are only trained sparsely, since they are costly to perform as they take place in offsite courses and are led by experts over several days. Virtual reality (VR)-based training courses could increase the availability of training, by eliminating travel costs and reducing the time-commitment of the teaching experts. This work presents a VR prototype of a multi-user training and examination application for patient handover. To ensure a similar interaction quality to its current real world counterpart, this work used omni-directional video recordings to create a realistic setting and compared different projection methods. A pilot study highlighted distinct use-cases of sphere and mesh projections to visualize the recordings. The results suggest enhanced spatial presence relating to the usage of omni-directional videos in VR-applications.
