    424424==== Virtual Reality Based Training Activities in Orthopedic Surgery (US Ignite/GENI technology) ====
    425 ''Dr. Pirela-Cruz demonstrates multimedia and haptic interfaces on a distributed VR application for training orthopedic residents.  Visit us to learn about networked medical applications.''
     425''This innovative application show cases use of a Next Generation networking approach to support surgical training. Expert surgeons and medical residents can be at different locations but can interact using virtual reality based simulators and ultra-fast networks.''

    427427This demonstration involves highlighting a distributed approach to training orthopedic medical residents using Virtual Reality (VR) based simulation environments; this application exploits the capabilities of the Global Environment for Network Innovation (GENI) 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).
