Abstract:

In the winter semester 2021/22, the interdisciplinary course “Virtual and Augmented Reality for Digital Medicine” was offered. Here, students of medicine, medical technology, psychology as well as computer science were lectured together to merge the expertise from these fields and to promote mutual understanding. After a virtual theory phase, a practical phase took place on site. During the following hands-on phase, students collaborated in two different groups to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) and a Virtual Reality (VR) application with a medical context. After a presentation of the applications in front of an expert audience, the acquired knowledge was assessed by a written digital exam. The course was evaluated very positively by students from all fields and the good exam grades also indicate that the project was a success.

I. Introduction

For the winter semester of 2021/22, the Deepening Minor “Virtual and Augmented Reality for Digital Medicine” was offered for the first time, which not only represented a collaboration between four universities but was also highly interdisciplinary. This cooperation came into being in November 2019, with the signing of the cooperation agreement “Rethinking Medicine”. Involved are the University of Siegen (Germany) and the Erasmus Medical Center (Netherlands) as well as the TU Delft (Netherlands) and the University of Leiden (Netherlands). The course was attended by students in the fields of computer science, medicine, medical technology, as well as psychology.
