VR and AR in Veterinary
Spatial computing, which incorporates both Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) - collectively referred to as Mixed Realty (MR) - is rapidly moving from the realms of science fiction into fact, providing those in healthcare with exciting and interesting new tools for everything from collaboration to education and training. Whilst there are a number of case examples of MR being employed within the human medical sector, it’s use remains in it’s infancy within the veterinary sector.
