Virtual Reality Trauma Simulation: An Immersive Method to Enhance Medical Personnel Training and Readiness

Abstract

Annual report reviewing progress on the Dj Vu project. This report covers work to date and reviews the current collaborators,participants, and overall accomplishments during year two. Virtual reality may offer a unique method to create training content that can operate without expensive facilities or instructors. This report describes a process to further develop, pilot, and study training content that is specifically designed to replicate a real-world environment. It also reviews a series of trauma training outcome metrics, including gaze data metrics and methods.Please be advised, there are some potentially disturbing images (computer generated images of traumatic injuries) within this report.Disclaimer: The views expressed are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the official policy of the Department of the Army, the Department of Defense, or the US Government.
