- Abstract: We developed an education system utilizing virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies for clinical clerkships in emergency medicine. We used a spherical camera to record the scenes of emergency medical treatment, and then added subtitles/captions of clinical information onto the video data to help the learners’ understanding. Before watching the video, learners prepared with basic knowledge for the clinical situations to be addressed. By monitoring line of sight, instructors were able to estimate how far the students understood the situations and give appropriate feedback on the spot. These results suggest that an application of VR/AR technologies combined with preparatory learning materials and measurement of learners’ understanding in watching video provides an interactive and participatory educational context for knowledge acquisition in clinical clerkships. This system can be introduced at low cost and also can grow as a platform shared between teaching facilities.
