Visual Guidance for Infant Lumbar Puncture Training in XR

Lumbar puncture is a necessary staple of pediatric diagnostic medicine. We developed VirtuaLP, an immersive training system for infant lumbar puncture that runs on a standalone extended reality headset, allowing for a more accessible and flexible training experience. We provide a suite of visual hints to guide the student through the procedure. Additionally, VirtuaLP provides feedback on each component of insertion accuracy, including ideal position, depth, and angle.
