title: Virtual reality simulations.
abstract: The current virtual reality and haptic technologies being researched for potential use in high-fidelity simulations in anesthesiology are attempting to overcome a number of limitations, such as low resolution, low visual acuity, and lack of robust haptics-graphics collocation. A new prototype device invented by the authors, known as ImmersiveTouch, addresses how to overcome these technologic limitations.
