Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a web-based collaborative VR training system for the operation of radiation therapy devices. Medical students have to train as a therapist if they want to be so. However, radiation therapy devices are very expensive and dangerous, so any training systems without using the devices are needed. The authors have already proposed the web-based VR training system for the operation of medical therapy devices, and made preliminary tests to confirm which kinds of VR devices are suitable for the proposed system. From the test results, the authors chose one training system configuration of VR devices and implemented a more practical web-based collaborative VR training system.
