OC18.04: Embryonic staging, biometry and volumetry using virtual reality

Embryonic staging using a 3D virtual reality system.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to demonstrate that Carnegie Stages could be assigned to embryos visualized with a 3D virtual reality system. METHODS We analysed 48 3D ultrasound scans of 19 IVF/ICSI pregnancies at 7-10 weeks' gestation. These datasets were visualized as 3D 'holograms' in the BARCO I-Space virtual reality system. Embryos were staged according to external morphological fe...

Normal and Abnormal Embryonic Development in Virtual Reality

Purpose. To design and validate a desktop virtual reality (VR) system, for presentation and assessment of volumetric data, based on commercially-of-the-shelf (COTS) hardware as an alternative to a fully immersive CAVE-like I-Space VR system. Methods. We designed a desktop VR system, using a three-dimensional (3D) monitor and a 6 degreesof-freedom (6DOF) tracking system. A personal computer uses...

Virtual assembly using virtual reality techniques

Virtual reality is a technology which is often regarded as a natural extension to 3D computer graphics with advanced input and output devices. This technology has only recently matured enough to warrant serious engineering applications. The integration of this new technology with software systems for engineering, design, and manufacturing will provide a new boost to the field of computer-aided ...

24 Visualization Using Virtual Reality

24.1.2 Virtual Reality What we now often refer to as virtual reality was first proposed in the 1960s [16,38,39]. In addition to the term ‘‘virtual reality,’’ many other terms such as ‘‘virtual environments,’’ ‘‘synthetic environments,’’ ‘‘virtual worlds,’’ and ‘‘artificial reality’’ have been used. Virtual reality has the capability of providing sensory information of sufficient fidelity that t...
