Tech Grove Connect – Augmented Reality in Tactical Combat Casualty Care: Physiological Ramifications

Description

Watch the recording from this month's webinar!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

As augmented reality (AR) is rapidly adopted by industry and militaries around the globe, there is a growing concern for potential physiological maladaptation following prolonged AR exposure. Within the military medical domain, the Defense Health Agency is leading the way in deploying AR technology as a distributed learning solution, along with the exploration of AR applications within primary care and operational medicine. The accelerated pace of AR adoption makes understanding and characterizing the benefits and limitations of AR-based training and operational support solutions critical, not only for optimized safety but also for ensuring effectiveness within the AR medical training context and beyond.  What are the impacts of prolonged AR exposure? How does it impact the outcomes of the training? How does it compare to prolonged virtual reality exposure? Do some AR headsets have less impact than others?

Join us to hear the outcome of the study conducted by Design Interactive in partnership with the U.S. Army Medical Research & Development Command (USAMRDC) and the Joint Program Committee - JPC -1 at Fort Detrick, MD. You can access the paper here. Selected as a Best Paper Nominee by the HPAE Subcommittee at I/ITSEC 2021.
