Medical devices are common technologies that the majority of healthcare professionals must be familiar with, and yet device associated incidents account for a significant proportion of medical errors. In this project the Dept of Biosurgery and Surgical Technologies at Imperial College London designed, built and tested a scenario-based simulation in the 3D virtual world of Second Life. Their research illustrates the use of Second Life as a novel platform for immersive clinical training. Participants were able to learn and practice in a complex but safe environment where they could make mistakes without risk to any real patients. This walkthough illustrates the pilot project which was funded by the Training Hub for Operative Technologies in Healthcare (THOTH). For further information see http://www.tinyurl.com/mmdl-ic l

"Sametime 3D" is an ongoing IBM Research and Lotus initiative to integrate enterprise business applications with virtual world applications. The demonstration shows the integration of Lotus Sametime with OpenSim. Users of Sametime within an enterprise can invite meeting participants using group chat, select a virtual meeting space type (formal conference room, theater, collaboration space), upload files and generate a meeting space "on demand". Users are authenticated through internal authentication tools used for IBMs internal network. In-world functions include presentation viewer, brainstorming wall, monthly calendar view, sign in board, an action wall for documenting plans and a meeting content export capability. Sametime voice chat can be used to enable voice discussion during in world meetings. Future research under consideration includes additional reporting capabilities, enhanced voice integration, integration with other virtual world platforms, development of additional in world tools to support collaboration, and integration with 2D applications.
