    • Learning Hand Anatomy with Sense of Embodiment 

      Saalfeld, Patrick; Albrecht, Aylin; D'Hanis, Wolfgang; Rothkötter, Hermann-Josef; Preim, Bernhard (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      We present a VR-based prototype for learning the hand anatomy. The prototype is designed to support embodied cognition, i.e., a learning process based on movements. The learner employs the prototype in VR by moving their ...

    • An Endoscope Interface for Immersive Virtual Reality 

      John, Nigel W.; Day, Thomas W.; Wardle, Terrence (The Eurographics Association, 2020)
      This is a work in progress paper that describes a novel endoscope interface designed for use in an immersive virtual reality surgical simulator. We use an affordable off the shelf head mounted display to recreate the ...
