Are there limitations to VR in medical training?

What are the limitations of using VR in medical training?

While VR offers immersive experiences, limitations include high costs, lack of tactile feedback, and potential technical issues.

How does the lack of tactile feedback affect training?

Without tactile feedback, trainees may struggle to develop the muscle memory needed for real-life procedures.

Are there specific medical fields where VR is less effective?

Yes, fields requiring hands-on skills, like surgery, may find VR less effective compared to more interactive methods.

What advancements are being made to overcome these limitations?

Advancements include haptic technology to simulate touch and improved VR systems that enhance realism and interactivity.

Is VR training as effective as traditional methods?

Research shows VR can be as effective, but it often works best when combined with traditional training methods.
