The health sciences campus at the University of Utah is very interested in virtual reality VR applications. These serious VR applications revolve around education for patients, students, and health professionals, training simulations, and immersive experiences. There is no centralized place on the health sciences campus for people to learn or use VR. There are smaller groups who routinely use VR, but their objective is not to expose or teach others VR. As a library, we can fill this need as a place of VR play and educational how-to.

We will be using the VR equipment we acquired as a result of the NNLM MCR Technology Improvement Award received in July of 2017. - DonRaphael Wynn, MD Neurologist, Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellow at Moran Eye Center, University of Utah will serve as the primary content expert and Griffin Jardine, MD Ophthalmologist, University of Utah, will serve as advisor on educational aspects of the project. We will consult with other Moran Eye Center faculty as needed.

Goal: Improve professional education of 126s, and provide information to patients and consumers. Objectives: Creating an effective teaching tool using VR technology Use this as a model for other VR modules teaching about anatomical and physiologic principles.
