In order to avoid extensive subsequent adjustments due to inappropriate layout visualization or geometric conditions difficult to identify in 2D plans, it is of utmost importance to provide an optimal planning environment to future users such as physicians and nurses. In this paper we present the concept of a fully automatized pipeline, which is designed to visualize computer aided design (CAD) data using virtual reality (VR). The immersive VR experience results in improvement of efficiency in the decision- making process during the planning phase due to better spatial imagination. The pipeline was successfully tested with CAD data from existing Intensive Care Units. The results indicate that the pipeline can be a valuable tool in the field of spatial planning in healthcare, due to simple usage and fast conversion of CAD data. The next step will be the development of a plugin for CAD tools to allow for interactions with the CAD models in Virtual Reality, which is not yet possible without manual intervention}, subject = {Virtual Reality}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JankWagnerUrbaueretal., author = {Jank, Miran and Wagner, Fabian and Urbauer, Philipp and Balz, Andrea and Forjan, Mathias}, title = {Extended Reality Solutions in Medical Context and Educational Approaches}, series = {Healthcare Transformation with Informatics and Artificial Intelligence / 21th International Conference on Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare}, booktitle = {Healthcare Transformation with Informatics and Artificial Intelligence / 21th International Conference on Informatics, Management and Technology in Healthcare}, publisher = {iOS Press}, doi = {10.3233/SHTI230548}, pages = {521 -- 524}, abstract = {The healthcare sector is growing in importance as people continue to age and pandemics complicate the boundary conditions of such systems. The number of innovative approaches to solve singular tasks and problems in this area is only slowly increasing. This is particularly evident when looking at medical technology planning, medical training and process simulation. In this paper a concept for versatile digital improvements to these problems by using state of the art development methods of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are presented. The programming and design of the software is done with the help of Unity Engine, which provides an open interface for docking with the developed framework for future work. The solutions were tested under domain specific environments and have shown good results and positive feedback.}, subject = {Virtual Reality}, language = {en} }
