Different Medical Modelling Strategies in a Single Collaborative Immersive Virtual Environment
(The Eurographics Association, 2005) Al-khalifah, A.; McCrindle, R.; Alexandrov, V.; Mike Chantler
Visualisation and simulation systems are becoming increasingly popular nowadays in medical planning and training. These tools are built using various technologies, such as computer graphics, Virtual Reality, and three dimensional (3D) modelling. The latter is an important element to these systems, because it governs how models are represented and how they can be manipulated. In this paper, we investigate the use of various 3D modelling techniques in a virtual immersive collaborative environment. We highlight the merits and limitations of these techniques, explain how they can be used in a virtual medical context, and demonstrate a practical application.
