Multimodal interactions between the user and the virtual environment facilitate the generation of high-fidelity sensory impressions, by using not only visual and auditory, but also kinesthetic, tactile, and even olfactory feedback modalities. On the basis of the existing physiological constraints, \u003cb\u003eVirtual Reality in Medicine\u003c\/b\u003e derives the technical requirements and design principles of multimodal input devices, displays, and rendering techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResulting from a course taught by the authors, \u003cb\u003eVirtual Reality in Medicine\u003c\/b\u003e presents examples for surgical training, intra-operative augmentation, and rehabilitation that are already in use as well as those currently in development. It is well suited as introductory material for engineering and computer science students, as well as researchers who want to learn more about basic technologies in the area of virtual reality applied to medicine. It also provides a broad overview to non-engineering students as well as clinical users, who desire to learn more about the current state of the art and future applications of this technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Riener,Matthias Harders\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447140108","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44894782783603,"sku":"9781447140108","price":93.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_2c5b75ec-f486-4c9f-90cd-f8b4d6e6ae3b.jpg?v=1777051731","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/virtual-reality-in-medicine-9781447140108","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
