Abstract:

Virtual Reality (VR) has been around for decades but recent technological advances have caused a huge surge in popularity over the last 24 months. In this talk I will give a brief history of VR, tracking its development from early helmet mounted displays to the latest immersive systems available today. We will consider real-world applications for VR and, using the medical context, examine how we can generate exciting content for immersive medical learning experiences. Finally, we will contemplate the future of VR and postulate where the technology might be in ten years’ time.
