This demonstration focuses on a GENI based collaborative Virtual Reality based training environment for orthopedic surgery. A network based collaborative approach has been implemented outlined which enables distributed training of medical students from different locations. The virtual surgery environment is being remotely operated with the aid of a redundancy server.

•List of equipment that will need AC connections (e.g. laptop, switch, monitor): 5 – 7 Nos •Total number of wired network connections (sum standard IP and VLAN connections): 4 Nos •Number of wired layer 2 VLANs (if any): Specify VLAN number, if known, approximate bandwidth, and whether tagged or untagged. •Number of wireless network connections (include required bandwidth if significant): •Number of static addresses needed (if any): 4 Nos •Monitor (y/n, specify VGA or DVI): Both •Number of posters (max size poster boards are 30" x 40"): 2 standard size •Special requests: Include any specific network connectivity needs (e.g. VLANs to a particular GENI location, projects you'd like to be near, etc.)

This demonstration involves highlighting a distributed approach to training orthopedic medical residents using Virtual Reality (VR) based simulation environments; this application exploits the capabilities of Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI)'s national test bed infrastructure.  Our demonstration will show how expert surgeons in different hospitals can interact with medical trainees at others locations and teach them the fundamentals of orthopedic surgery. The high-definition multimedia streaming and haptic interfaces associated with the VR environment will enable trainees to remotely observe, participate and practice surgical techniques virtually from different locations (and also provides ‘on demand’ access to such medical educational and training resources).

The virtual environments will enable students to learn the appropriate way of performing orthopedic surgery. The traditional way of surgical teaching involves students first merely observing a ‘live’ surgery and gradually progressing to assisting experienced surgeons. Medical residents also learn through performing surgeries on cadavers; however, these approaches have limitations such as availability, cost and the remote possibility of infections, which limit their usefulness. A Virtual Reality based simulation environment is a practical compromise for addressing these concerns. We are working with Dr. Miguel Pirela-Cruz at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center (TTHSC) in El Paso, Texas.

We did an initial demonstration at GEC 21 which was well received. Our plans are to show the use of haptic interfaces at GEC 22 with the presence of Dr. Pirela-Cruz.
