Introduction

Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment. A majority of the types of equipment are generally visual devices, using either a computer screen or special stereoscopic displays, but there are devices like the head-mounted-display (HMD), which also provide sound for a wholesome experience. Advanced systems with haptic devices, which provide force feedback have also been introduced. VR is commonly associated with its immersive, highly visual, and 3D environments. It is used in a wide variety of applications ranging from gaming devices, public entertainment, prototype-creation to military exercises, and medical equipment. The development of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, graphics hardware acceleration, HMDs, database gloves and miniaturization has helped in the popularity of this technology. The use of VR in medical applications provides better training facilities, innovative treatments, better image manipulation, improved image understanding, and better surgical planning. Though the potential use of VR and 3D technologies have a wide scope in healthcare, a majority of the market is held by education and training devices, and surgical-assistance equipment.

The scope of this report includes the world-wide market for the following VR equipment, accessories, and services:

VR Surgical Equipment used for pre-planning procedures or practice of surgeries by surgeons
VR Equipment used for training and educating medical students and surgeons
VR Equipment for Rehabilitation and Therapy used by doctors to treat patients suffering from ailments like fears and Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorders (PTSD)
VR Equipment used for visualization of 3-D medical data
Software for supporting the above mentioned equipment
Revenue generated by simulation services which are provided by hospitals or individual health-centers
Revenue generated from educating and training medical students and surgeons
