CHILDREN EMERGENCY SIMULATION BASED ON 3D OBJECT’S SURFACE APPROXIMATED TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Preclinical medical training provides medical staff with skills and knowledge that are highly effective in meeting the quantitative, qualitative and ethical requirements of modern healthcare. Innovative technologies that enable hands-on training on virtual simulations take the load off the traditional medical training system. To perform medical simulations, surface approximation techniques have been applied to improve many aspects of practical applications. This article proposes to use 3D object surface approximation techniques in developing a pre-clinical pediatric emergency practice system based on virtual reality technology. Surface approximation techniques are applied on 3D models to increase efficiency in detecting collisions between objects in a virtual environment, showing variations in color and shape of objects accurately and details. These techniques have been integrated to develop a pre-clinical medical training system to be implemented in Vietnam.
