Title:
- Immersive Game for Dental Anesthesia Training with Haptic Feedback
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Training anesthetic application is a challenge for teaching dentistry, given the complexity of the procedure and the risks involved. Through an immersive virtual reality environment, the system presented here offers a playful way of learning, through game elements. This serious game allows the user to practice anesthesia technique with or without aids (tactile or visual) and to receive scores at different levels of difficulty. An important differential is the possibility of the syringe being driven automatically (tactile aid) in order to reproduce trajectories inserted by experienced instructors. Thus, the student can feel as if the instructor was conducting the learner’s hand while guiding her or him.
