Abstract

Any technology for virtual reality limits what can be presented to the user. Games are designed within such limits, but medicine has categorical requirements, more easily met in "reach-in" than in "immersive" VR. We discuss the effects of the needs of medicine on interface and graphics technology, and the achievement of precise, dextrous control for investigation and editing of 3-D medical data.
