A Real-Time Ultrasound Simulation Platform Using Ray Tracing And Its Integration With Virtual Reality, Bo Peng, Qiang Wang, Ruibing Qing, Lixue Yin, Jingfeng Jiang
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In order to further improve the efficacy of ultrasound training and reduce the cost. An ultrasound training system that is integrated with a VR environment is developed. The main contribution of this study is to incorporate the Ray-tracing based ultrasound image simulation approach into a virtual reality environment, taking advantage of immersive VR experience for medical ultrasound training. The simulated ultrasound images obtained by the proposed method are then compared to images that are simulated using a generative adversarial network (GAN) technique and Field II ultrasound simulator. The data show that the ultrasound simulator can produce high-quality simulated …

Multi-Sensory Fusion Method For Power Transformer Virtual Assembly, Xuqiang Shao, Haowei Zhang, Xiaohua Feng
Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Virtual assembly technology is to truly restore the equipments and physical scenarios. In the real world, people can interact with the physical world through visual, auditory, tactile and other sense organ. Aiming at the existing virtual assembly system being limited the single sense human-computer interaction mode, so a multi-sense fusion information interaction method is proposed to improve the sense of immersion and operability. An improved AABB Octree bounding box collision detection algorithm of large size diffidence component to be assembled is proposed, which can greatly reduce the amount of calculation and improve the calculation accuracy. The experimental result verifies …

Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: Aiming at the problem of low interaction efficiency due to the lack of depth information in the current desktop flow visualization application based on the two-dimensional display interaction environment, virtual reality technology is introduced to design and implement an immersive flow visualization system with diversified interaction methods. Based on the gaze and gesture interaction technology, the system designs and implements gesture-based navigation methods and three-dimensional interactive widgets based on user requirements, as well as immersive interactive panels based on user gaze and gestures. We designed and implemented an immersive interactive management method based on visual scenes and a visual …

Purpose: Biased perceptions of individuals who are not part of one’s in-groups tend to be negative and habitual. Because health care professionals are no less susceptible to biases than are others, the adverse impact of biases on marginalized populations in health care warrants continued attention and amelioration. Method: Two characters, a Syrian refugee with limited English proficiency and a black pregnant woman with a history of opioid use disorder, were developed for an online training simulation that includes an interactive life course experience focused on social determinants of health, and a clinical encounter in a community health center utilizing virtual …
The Impact Of Visual Feedback And Control Configuration On Pilot-Aircraft Interface Using Head Tracking Technology, Christopher M. Arnold
The Impact Of Visual Feedback And Control Configuration On Pilot-Aircraft Interface Using Head Tracking Technology, Christopher M. Arnold
Theses and Dissertations
Traditional control mechanisms restrict human input on the displays in 5th generation aircraft. This research explored methods for enhancing pilot interaction with large, information dense cockpit displays; specifically, the effects of visual feedback and control button configuration when augmenting cursor control with head tracking technology. Previous studies demonstrated that head tracking can be combined with traditional cursor control to decrease selection times but can increase pilot mental and physical workload. A human subject experiment was performed to evaluate two control button configurations and three visual feedback conditions. A Fitts Law analysis was performed to create predictive models of selection time …
The Application Of Virtual Reality In Firefighting Training, Dylan A. Gagnon
The Application Of Virtual Reality In Firefighting Training, Dylan A. Gagnon
Theses and Dissertations
Immersive simulations such as virtual reality is becoming more prevalent for use in training environments for many professions. United States Air Force firefighters may benefit from incorporating VR technology into their training program to increase organizational commitment, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and job performance. With implementing a new training platform, it is also important to understand the relationship between these variables and the perceived benefits and efficacy of the VR training, which has not yet been studied in previous research. This study addresses this issue by gathering data from fire departments currently fielding a VR fire training platform.
