Evaluation of Collaborative Activities in Medical Simulators Based on Virtual Reality

Abstract

Training with simulators based on virtual reality has been the focus of several projects in the last years. In this context, collaborative activities require the use of networks and approaches to join users in a single environment. However, some questions still remain open as a challenge for the design of simulators for teams in medicine: what are the requirements of these simulators? and how to evaluate team activities? These questions are discussed in this paper to provide an architecture for evaluation of teams in collaborative trainings based on virtual reality.
