Thesis topic
- Using Game Engines as a Basis for Clinical Simulators
- This is my PhD project and examines how well game engines are suitable
to be used for simulation of clinical procedures such as surgery or emergency response.
Throughout the first year of my PhD,
the focus has shifted towards aspects of non-verbal communication
and its importance and inclusion in game engine based teamwork simulations.
