Implementation of a Virtual Reality Operating Room for Simulation Purposes in Medical Training

As a technology allowing an immersion in a digitally created artificial world, virtual reality has increasingly replaced experiments on real-world objects. Thus, the implementation of a virtual reality solution can be very beneficial in education and scientific research fields. Medical simulation fits perfectly into this dynamic of integrating digital tools in the health sciences teaching. Therefore, the Cheikh Zaid Foundation's Medical Simulation Center (CSMFCZ), has focused on educational innovation by developing its own 3D environment. This paper deals with the particular case of an operating room, allowing simulation of different surgical scenarios in order to enrich the digital platform of the CSMFCZ.
