Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively new and rapidly growing field which is becoming accessible by the larger research community as well as being commercially available for en- tertainment. Relatively cheap and commercially available head mounted displays (HMDs) are the largest reason for this increase in availability. This work uses Unity and an HMD to create a VR environment to display a 360◦video of a pre-recorded patient handoff be- tween a nurse and doctor. The VR environment went through different designs while in development. This works discusses each stage of it’s design and the unique challenges we encountered during development. This work also discusses the implementation of the user study and the visualization of collected eye tracking data.

Keyphrases: 360 video, eye tracking, hmd, medical simulation, vr
