By the use of Virtual Reality (VR) is possible to create virtual rooms that join people to simulate medical procedures. In these cases, collaborative features are used to coordinate the interactions of the multiple participants in the environment. Thus, interactions and graphics representations must be processed in real time to provide a sense of realism for all participants. Due to the fact in some medical procedures the positioning of participants in the room is important, tracking devices can be used to capture each user position to allow knowing all users position in the room. To verify if the group performed the procedure correctly, is proposed the use of an assessment methodology based on possibilistic networks. The goal is allow training of teams, developing individual competences to work together.
