Example of the VR interface visualised by virtual delegates viewing the live-streamed 360° content. This example is taken from a VRiMS module using mannequins to demonstrate cricothyroidotomy (images of cadaveric specimens cannot be published according to the Human Tissues Act). The upper, lower, left and right screenshots represent how the view changes if the viewer looks up, down, left or right, respectively (by moving their head if wearing a VR headset or by clicking and dragging the screen if using a standard laptop/smartphone view). Overlays of different camera angles can be clearly seen in the upper, left right images. Published with faculty members’ knowledge and consent. VR, virtual reality; VRiMs, Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery.
