Virtual reality creates three-dimensional environments that have been used to enhance video games for several years. Now this amazing technology is helping surgeons plan complex operations, medical students learn anatomy without cadavers, and patients cope with physical pain and the emotional challenges of long-term hospital stays. These and other virtual reality developments are changing the way doctors deliver health care and teach medicine to students and physicians in remote corners of the world.
