Abstract:
The possibilities of modern technologies primarily in terms of education show great potential in many spheres including industry, military and medical fields. Virtual experience provides a deep immersion into the demonstrated environment providing a rich experience while minimizing risks. However, the modern educational system does not apply these tools at the required level because of many options including a lack of equipment and financial aid. It makes the educational process more complicated and out of date.
In this paper, we propose the visualization model of the blood flow in human arteries as a part of the medical educational simulator based on the math model. It makes the training process more flexible and able to create complex cases to achieve a greater level of personnel qualification. The model considers a range of patients, to modulate and install different blood flow conditions. The use of the game engine in work provides the possibility to visualize the model and make the educational process clear and descriptive to make the material comprehension deeper.
The work observes the modern condition of immersive technology's involvement in education in different spheres and demonstrates collaboration possibilities for the math models and visualization tools for medical simulations.
