Abstract

virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated three-dimensional space that is multi-sensorial, interactive and engaging. virtual reality is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, be it a real or imagined one. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world, for example, simulations for pilot or combat training, or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, technology systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Various application of virtual reality such as the interior of a building or a spaceship are developed often with the purpose of training or education adventure, an imagined environment, typically for a game or language learning. This paper focuses on medical application of virtual reality. for over three decades, robotics and automation have been used, yet there are precious few applications within the medical field. Medicine is beginning to see the potential for VR technology to revolutionize the practice of medicine.
