Medical/ health use• Kirriemuir (2010) notes is a key subject
area for education in virtual worlds• Low risk, can be lower cost, and evidence
of engagement• Simulations, communications, diagnosis,
anatomy, health education (e.g. McCallum et al, 2010; Wiecha, 2010)
“3-D virtual worlds provide users with a more immersive and socially interactive experience, as well as a feeling of embodiment that has the potential to facilitate the clinical communication process.” Gorini (2008)
“I was not so confronting, but it puts you in that situation. You still wanted to solve that problem and fix that patient so you really got drawn into the whole situation.”student quoted in Rogers (2009: 885)
