Technologies of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Biomedical Engineering

Technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality have gained popularity lately. Because of their convenience and accessibility, these technologies have been adopted in various domains. Virtual reality and augmented reality create an immersive experience, enabling 3D visualization of the content. This technology lets you visualize data from different sensors at the same time, overlaying relevant and helpful information over your environment through a headset. In this article, we give a perspective on these technologies from a biomedical engineering standpoint. In this article, we discuss the various technologies of current biomedical engineering. These technologies allow us to move beyond traditional 2D images towards 3D models that can be made visible and manipulated with Augmented and Virtual Reality. The basic applications of biomedical engineering include representation of mechanisms in space and time dimensions and three-dimensional visualizations of difficult structures in anatomy. The article is an attempt to bring the latest results on the benefits of virtual and augmented reality in biomedical engineering.
