title: Towards developing an immersive and interactive virtual fairview peri-operative environment.
abstract: We discuss the goal and a design of an immersive and interactive virtual fairview peri-operative environment for patient education for surgery. We further discuss a pipeline for building 3D models of peri-operative environment for usage in VR. Specifically, we capitalize on the recent advancement on laser scanning technology to perform such modeling for both efficiency and accuracy.
