Virtual reality (VR) refers to computer technologies that use software to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment and simulate a user’s physical presence in this environment, by enabling the user to interact with this space and any objects depicted therein. Virtual reality is used to provide trainees with a virtual environment where they can develop their skills without the real-world complications. In other words, Simulation Education is a bridge between classroom learning and real-life experience.
VR Department of has three domains of activity: Medical training simulators, custom operations training simulators and VR hardware developments and integrations. SiMedix is the a brand in medical training simulators, which has focused on ophthalmic surgeries. Medical simulators rely on computerized mannequins that perform several functions of human realistically.
Medical simulators allow trainess to practice what to do in different situations and give them the best possible chance of enhancing skills and reducing medical malpractices. Only by the help of simulators, residents can experience dangerous situations without putting the patient in danger.
Also, simulators have proven far more effectiveness in the amount and retention of knowl- edge versus conventional classroom teaching:
Ability to practice potentially risky scenarios in a safe environment
Increased knowledge retention by more exercising
reporting in a more complete, consistent and objective form
demonstration of what Students have learned
OpSim is our proprietary ophthalmic surgical simulator,
developed to help residents practice complex eye
surgeries in a safe, realistic setting. It allows trainees to
build confidence without entering real operating rooms,
and supports both cataract and vitreoretinal procedures.
OpSim is a VR-based eye surgery simulator that enables
trainees to safely practice two major procedures: cataract
and vitreoretinal surgery.It offers a realistic, repeatable
training environment — without the need for real
patients. Learners can perform complex procedures
multiple times to build confidence, precision, and surgical
skill
