Call for Participation in the IEEE Virtual Reality 2010 conference in Waltham, MA, USA on March 20 and 21, 2010.
Today, more than any time in the history of medicine, there is a need for faster, more efficient and cost effective training. Patient safety and evidenced based practice have been highlighted as key issues to be addressed by medical process and technology. There are many research problems to solve, including realistic modeling and simulation of physiological processes, human perception issues, time-efficient segmentation and effective use of haptics.
A half day workshop will be organized by the Web3D Consortium Medical Working Group to demonstrate the current state-of-the-art in medical virtual environments and identify future technology directions, and is requesting submission of technology related position papers (up to 3 pages) containing preliminary results of research or design work within the scope of medical virtual environments. Papers should address one or more of the following topics, although authors should not feel limited by them. Unlisted but related topics are also welcome.
* Novel applications/case studies of medical virtual environments, including training, rehabilitation, rehearsal, etc.
* Software algorithms and APIs
* Use of haptics for medical simulation
* Human perception and interaction with a virtual patient
* Physiology modeling techniques
* Standards for 3D medical imaging
* Inexpensive solutions
* Open Source Software and production pipelines
