摘要

Extended reality (XR) technologies are increasingly being used in different application areas. One such area is for healthcare, which has seen significant developments over the last few years. However, its use for healthcare education is still in its infancy. This paper presents a case study, which explores the use of virtual reality (VR) technology in the healthcare domain. In particular, an application targeting education of various conditions healthcare providers might meet in older adult care is evaluated using different subjective evaluations methodologies, with nursing students and professional healthcare staff. The overall results show promising directions and use of new technology applications in this domain, but also highlights some of the potential problems with its adoption.
