Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) and interactive technologies have become increasingly common in today's world, and there are many applications for this technology in numerous fields. In this paper, we present a review on recent and ongoing research related to applications of VR and VR games in the healthcare field. VR technology is allowing medical practitioners to help their patients in a number of innovative ways in addition to helping health care providers improve their skills. Lastly, we propose a VR game design for rehabilitation and palliative care.
