Metaverse Health

The Economist has an interesting article on the use of Second Life in training people around virtual consent. It’s an area where a virtual world has strengths (the ability to recreate a real-world situation) without some of the downfalls (lack of clinical complexity due to technological limitations).

Another aspect that has struck me over the past year is just how strong the UK is in virtual worlds and health. The Imperial College London (where this training exercise is being hosted) is one of the shining lights worldwide, with a number of other UK institutions undertaking research.
