Abstract
Healthcare learning is a world wide challenge. More specifically, surgery is now a top priority for World Health Organization: to give access to a good surgical training to every surgical student across the world and, therefore to decrease errors and expenditures, There are new innovative methods to teach the surgical technique. Among them, simulation has proven to be relevant and a new technology is emerging, virtual reality.
One of the main problems we face during surgical learning is the point of view, which is not the same for the teacher and the student and is seldom the good one for the later. Thanks to Virtual Reality, we can now improve this issue and place the student in an immersive environment.
This work introduces the design of a cloud platform on mobile phone. This latter collects what we call immersive tutorials: virtual reality experience designed to transmit skills. For the very first time, the user can see through the eyes of the main surgeon, in a 3D virtual reality learning environment.
