Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a system for medical training of the pleural puncture protocol, built based on virtual reality techniques and performance analysis of the head mounted display (HMD) in this system. The system includes 3D geometric models for a virtual operating room and the virtual patient´s anatomy, and the modules required to promote the training of users. One of the contributions of this work is to analyze the impact of the use of HMD, model xSight 3120, and conventional monitors in learning the procedure of pleural puncture through simulations, considering the items: visual discomfort, time to perform tasks and success and error rates.
