Surgical Scene Generation for Virtual Reality-Based Training in Medicine
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 168

* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781848001060
Product Description:
One of the most important elements needed for effective training in Virtual Reality (VR) is the generation of variable scenarios. Without this, trainees quickly become familiar with a scene and the natural variations encountered in real-life situations cannot be reproduced. Generating such models in VR-based applications is difficult, but with the increase in computational power (allowing for larger and more finely-detailed virtual environments) there is an increasing demand for improved methods for model acquisition, enhancement, optimization and adaptation.
