Virtual and augmented reality for biomedical applications
This Nolan-coauthored review surveys biomedical virtual and augmented reality and presents illustrative case studies. It retains practical limitations: some training performs worse than hands-on instruction, a surgical comparison found no significant improvement in several broader outcomes, and image quality, tracking, cost, privacy and discomfort constrain use. Demonstrations and reported funding are distinct from proven clinical benefit or classified UAP access.
