Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) reveals more possibilities to different fields in many regards. However, few research and studies were complemented in medicine to find an innovational way to treat the patients. In this paper, a comprehensive design and experiments about how to build a simulated system for the disabled and patients after the surgeries will be stated. In addition, some features that could use to improve the feasibility of the system are also proposed. Basically, the system is embedded in simulated virtual environment that generated by computer. The methodology of updating the system is to synchronize the map of the real world, which means this simulation world is dynamic. Recommended devices are also mentioned to accomplish the system, except to conventional headsets and controllers, advanced control pattern for example voice control and breath control are included as well [2]. This paper improves and re-proposes a design based on existing experiments. The basic functions of the system could be realized with the support of current technology. With the support of existing technology, the author also reported some obstacles in order to ensure safety and feasibility. This paper proposes a new design of virtual environment system for every disabled users. New control approaches such as voice control and breath control are mentioned. For some key problem like synchronization and AI technique, proper solutions are provided to meet current requirements. However, there are still some difficulties in the future, such as high-definition instant synchronization and how to decrease the dependence of AI technology on people.
