IBM has built an entire virtual hospital in Second Life to demonstrate how the company’s health care solutions can modernize health care. It’s a great example of what can be done in virtual worlds, but more than that it’s an example of what can be done with AI technology.
The Emergency Room: Avatars can chose to experience a virtual emergency by “touching” a specially scripted control. This engages a medical episode and a ride on a fast gurney directly into the private and secure emergency treatment area, where a special screen is programmed to reveal the full incorporation of the PHR to ensure proper treatment.
A trip to a virtual emergency room sounds rather fun actually. If this isn’t immersive story, how difficult would it be to tweak it to be?
