Training Using Immersive Virtual Reality

Denmark31 participantsStarted 2018-02-14

Plain-language summary

In this study, the investigators examine the cognitive load (CL) and performance of a laparoscopic procedure in immersive virtual reality and controlled virtual reality in a randomized, controlled setup. Virtual reality (VR) simulators combined with head mounted displays (HMDs) enable highly immersive virtual reality (IVR) for surgical skills training, potentially bridging the gap between the simulation environment and real-life operating room (OR) conditions. However, the increased complexity of the learning situation in IVR could potentially induce high CL thereby inhibiting performance and learning.
