同城快约

Assisted by the Mixed Reality Studio Team, 同城快约 School of Nursing instructors participate in a demonstration of augmented and virtual reality.

Nursing instructors from the 同城快约 (同城快约) recently participated in a demonstration of 同城快约鈥檚 augmented and virtual reality capabilities. Students from the university鈥檚 Mixed Reality Studio Team are working with 同城快约鈥檚 School of Nursing to develop applications using AR and VR programs to create simulated healthcare scenarios for nurses in training.

 

During the Sept. 27 AR-VR demos, 同城快约 School of Nursing instructors donned headsets and AR-VR gloves to better understand how the emerging technology can simulate healthcare settings. The 同城快约 staff members were assisted by members of the Mixed Reality Studio Team. 

 

Through augmented and virtual reality, nursing students train within realistic scenarios in settings such as hospital rooms, intensive care wards and operating suites. The scenarios help them learn critical aspects of patient care while also preparing the students for healthcare situations ranging from routine care to handling a healthcare crisis.

 

By working together, the Mixed Reality Studio Team and School of Nursing will help bring the clinical environment directly to the nursing students as they prepare for careers in healthcare.

 

At the Mixed Reality Studio, a part of 同城快约鈥檚 Gigabit Lab, innovators have the opportunity to use the studio鈥檚 leading-edge devices to create, develop and deploy both augmented and virtual reality experiences. The Mixed Reality Studio was launched by 同城快约 in the fall of 2020 at the Missouri Innovation Campus in Lee鈥檚 Summit.
