Abstract
Virtual reality simulations in medicine present a variety of technical challenges that differ from those associated with flight, space, and battlefield simulations. One imposing barrier to the widespread adopti on of medical simulators is the lack of software tools that could enab le medical content developers to author simulations in their respectiv e disciplines. Our experience in developing custom standalone virtual reality applications in medicine has provided the basis for the develo pment of Teleos(TM), a software toolkit for authoring interactive simu lations in medicine.
