We’ve already spoken enough about the thrilling possibilities of VR in healthcare- as a training and development tool in medical schools, as a marketing tool by medical animation companies to provide patient education. Medical animation companies create animations that show improved research and development of medical devices as well as biologic drugs targeting specific components of the immune system.
Medical animation companies have witnessed the natural development of medical simulation and science visualization from hand-drawn illustrations; to medical animation videos; to computer-empowered 3D medical animations. Since a long time now, medical animation companies have been making professional 3D medical animations using relatively widespread technology that is conceived through advances in computing. 3D medical animation, now, is being adapted for use in Virtual Reality (VR) environments, further improving the utility of this amazingly useful technology.
Among the few industries that have been utilizing VR technology for some time now, healthcare is a prominent one. The remarkable rise of VR-based research articles in the Pubmed database over the past few years proves the fact. Medical animation companies aid in enhancing the ‘look and feel’ of these researches by giving them a beautifully presentable form.
However, there are still a fairly modest number of medical animation companies translating researches into practical VR applications. The field seems to be dominated by academic research and development, with some private industry collaboration. Most medical animation companies even today work on the same kinds of applications that clinicians have used since the early 1990s.
Scientific Animations is among the many medical animation companies operating actively and openly in the VR space.
