Why use an educational VR application in the field of dentistry?
In the field of dentistry, students face many challenges, including practical ones. To improve the education process of future specialists, together with the Medical University of Warsaw, we have prepared an application for VR goggles. It is a system of interactive experiences illustrating dental procedures. Dental treatment in virtual reality can contribute to faster training of real professionals using HTC Vive equipment.
An essential element of the VR project was implementing an educational and information platform as a desktop application. This allows lecturers to track the results of tasks performed by a specific user and save all of them in a database.
The goal of Giant Lazer was to reflect the behavior of anatomical structures, including tooth enamel and the soft tissue of the oral cavity, tongue, and cheeks.
Training dentistry procedures in virtual reality means more practical learning methods for students
The presented VR project can be considered one of the most advanced in our company’s portfolio. It required a specialized approach to programming interactions, collisions, physics, etc. Together, they create a whole experience that responds to medical requirements and physical prototypes.
3D graphic designers and programmers created dental tools that naturally interact with biological structures, including the surface of the teeth. One of the essential advantages of the VR application is the detailed model of the oral cavity. Its anatomical structure has been prepared to perform precise treatments without the fear of injuring a live patient.
The virtual reality application would not be so practical and easy to use if it was created for PCs which would limit students’ comfort and prevent them from freely performing tasks. The university needed as many as 50 devices, so a PC VR setup was not viable – the school could not upgrade every PC setup to meet the VR graphic standards. As such, the Medical University of Warsaw (our clinet) needed a wireless VR headset that was still powerful enough to run the training application. The VIVE Focus 3 met that need perfectly. - Advantages and Innovations
-
- Full VR capabilities for dental students.
The university has gained a complete training system for students with technology, software, user manual, and specialized tutorial for teachers who will use the solution in their classes.
- Realistic dentistry in an accessible form of a VR application.
Giant Lazer provided a virtual reality application that uses realistic 3D models of the patient’s teeth and mouth. The application also includes complex dental tools and treatment equipment, e.g. a dental chair with accessories. Objects naturally interact with each other, giving a natural feeling of performing virtual activities.
- Students and their results under the supervision of the lecturer.
The application includes a module that allows teachers to record all of the steps taken by students in the VR exam mode. The solution provides the possibility to analyze the course of training and individually search for difficulties in each user’s work.
Thanks to the VR application, an individual user’s progress is recorded. Points are scored automatically after completing each task. The application allows you to generate reports on users’ progress in CSV format from the database. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
