Types of virtual environments
Shared spaces technologies
Aim to create distributed electronic environments
Text-based virtual reality
a form of virtual habitats or virtual environments, e.g. a place where people be and do things on-line.
Multi-user chat (MUC) systems
Chat systems that allow text, visula and vocal communucation.
Your Logo
Virtual reality
a form of human-computer interaction in which a real or imaginary environment is simulated and users interact with and manipulate that world.
2D Interactive environments
a form of virtual environment and have a figurative appearance.
Most often, avatars talk in bubbles (like in a comic strip). There can be interactive objects and also multimedia imports (sound, movies, etc.)
3D Interactive environments
often referred to as virtual reality or interactive 3D and have a figurative appearance. Much like our own world, this type of world allows interaction with other (networked) beings as well as manipulation of objects
Your Logo
Immersive virtual reality
An artificial reality that projects you into a 3D space generated by the computer.
In the virtual world, you can simulate everything if you have the proper animation for the procedure. For example, I can take a blood sample if I have an animation created for this purpose.

Benefits of virtual world for Medicine
solving today’s problems and designing solutions for the challenges in tomorrow’s healthcare and life sciences arena.
improve patient safety, offer immersive therapy and rehabilitation, and increase collaboration, leading to a reduction in healthcare costs
reduces medical errors through improved communication and team skills, expands the training opportunities available to a wider spectrum of care-givers, and reaches out to consumers with a branded virtual world experience.

Virtual training for healthcare and medical applications
Virtual Hospital
enables hospitals and healthcare organizations to train for a range of skills and improve teamwork and communications through online collaboration
1) Increased effectiveness in nurse and doctor training2) Reduced medical errors3) Use of sophisticated, physiological medical models
that calculate the conditions, behaviors, and responses of patient avatars
4) Improved training of drug sales personnel through realistic 3D doctor visits and detailing of medical product sales and service personnel around 3D products
.
Benefits of virtual hospital
5) Sharing of best practices among global teams of medical, professional and sales personnel.
6) Delivery of immersive behavior therapy and rehabilitation
7) Expanded training opportunities to a wider spectrum of caregivers and outreach programs
.
Cont-Benefits of virtual hospital
The Minnesota Virtual Clinic is a web-based medical learning tool that simulates a weeklong view of activities in a medical office where students participate in the ongoing care of a group of virtual patients.
Virtual Clinic
1) Simulated Medical Records for Virtual Patients— represent a variety of conditions and cultural backgrounds.
2) Reveals Information in Real Time3) Teaching Points and Explanations4) Familiarizes Students with Electronic
Medical Records—teaches students basic security practices and how to use electronic medical records for patient care.
Benefits of virtual clinic
Virtual Clinical Case
We make a scenario for clinical case and student is allowed to deal with case to solve the problem
Virtual Environment for Endotracheal intubation Training
This project seeks to provide a means for practicing and developing skills required for endotracheal intubation training.

Virtual Urology
Doctor can simulate the location of stone in different part of the of the kidney & ureters.
Doctor can simulate the live operating system of Ureteroscope.
Doctor can simulate the live operation of stone removal from ureter with help of Ureteroscope.

Definitionan interactive environment for creating and conducting simulated experiments: a playground for experimentation
Example:Virtual lab for pharmacology
Virtual lab for anatomy and physiology(http://www.primalonlinelearning.com/anatomyandphysiologydemo.aspx)
Virtual Lab
Virtual Classroom
refers to instruction in a learning environment where teacher and student are separated by time or space, or both, and the teacher provides course content through course management applications, multimedia resources, the Internet, video-conferencing, etc
