This paper provides an introduction to the subject of “the treatment of phobias using virtual reality”. Virtual reality treatment will be compared to established methods of treatment and also (current) possibilities and (dis) advantages are described, as well as the virtual reality setups used.

This paper presents the “Remote Experiment Laboratories Using Virtual Reality”(VRLab) project. VRLab promotes the coordinated use of Virtual Reality technologies along with video streaming and remote control combined through a web interface in order to provide a new approach to multi-user remote experimentation for educational purposes. 2005 Mathematics Subject Classification: E-learning, Virtu...

Virtual reality has long been an indoor affair. Whether constrained by stationary computers or displays, or by the limitations of our tracking technologies, researchers typically build virtual environments that work within a single physical room or a portion of a room. Even distributed virtual reality systems usually interconnect two or more such indoor spaces. Meanwhile, as computers grow ever...

BACKGROUND The 3-dimensionally complex interplay of soft tissue, cartilaginous, and bony elements makes the mastery of nasal anatomy difficult. Conventional methods of learning nasal anatomy exist, but they often involve a steep learning curve. Computerized models and virtual reality applications have been used to facilitate teaching in a number of other complex anatomical regions, such as the ...

Virtual reality environments have many potential applications in medicine, including surgical training, tele-operated robotic surgery, assessment and rehabilitation of behavioural and neurological disorders and diagnosis, therapy and rehabilitation of physical disabilities. Although there is much potential for the use of immersive virtual reality environments in clinical applications, there are...
