Building a virtual invasive patient on a budget.
Virtual Reality shows promise as a valuable tool in medical research and training, but one of the factors limiting the expansion potential of such technology is cost of both hardware and software. This paper describes a proof-of-concept project whose aim was to design and implement a generic VR simulation system using low cost hardware and free software.
