Laparoscopy VR trainer
Laparoscopy VR is a low-budget Laparoscopy training kit developed by the University of Pécs that runs on Meta Quest 2 with developer mode enabled. The app is primarily aimed at introductory level training to increase the quality of the time students spend on more expensive simulators. Controller adapters can be 3D printed and a cardboard box can be used to provide rudimentary force-feedback. All can be prepared by the students themselves using the files provided. Tutorial video is provided to explain the process.
