SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLINICAL WORKSPACE SIMULATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18606011 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLINICAL WORKSPACE SIMULATION
The computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation involves capturing a real-world environment using an imaging device of an augmented reality headset and generating a composite view by rendering a first virtual object relative to a surgical table in the real-world environment. The captured real-world environment and the rendered first virtual object are combined in the composite view, which is displayed on a display of the augmented reality headset worn by a user.
- The method utilizes an augmented reality headset to create a composite view of a real-world environment and virtual objects.
- The virtual objects are rendered relative to specific elements in the real-world environment, such as a surgical table.
- The composite view is displayed in real-time on the headset's display, providing a seamless integration of virtual and real elements.
- This technology allows for realistic simulation of clinical workspaces, enhancing training and practice opportunities for medical professionals.
- By combining real-world elements with virtual objects, users can interact with and manipulate the virtual environment in a realistic setting.
Potential Applications: - Medical training and education - Surgical procedure simulation - Clinical workspace design and optimization
Problems Solved: - Enhances the realism of clinical workspace simulations - Improves training effectiveness for medical professionals - Facilitates the integration of virtual elements into real-world environments
Benefits: - Enhanced training experiences - Improved skill development for medical professionals - Realistic simulation of clinical scenarios
Commercial Applications: Augmented reality technology for medical training and simulation can be marketed to hospitals, medical schools, and training facilities looking to enhance their educational programs and improve the skills of healthcare professionals.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve the training experience for medical professionals? 2. What are the potential limitations of using augmented reality for clinical workspace simulation?
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation includes capturing a real-world environment by an imaging device of an augmented reality headset and generating a composite view by rendering a first virtual object relative to a surgical table in the real-world environment. Captured real-world environment and the rendered first virtual object are combined in the composite view, which is displayed on a display of the augmented reality headset worn by a user.
