Simulation, Augmented reality, Virtual realityAbstract
Simulation is a tangible and abstract concept, which has permeated a wide range of applications in the basic and applied sciences, giving rise to technologies that allow us to describe, under controlled environments and conditions, physical phenomena,
intrinsic and extrinsic properties of the objects that surround us, in a variety of possible scales. In such a way that practically any object of study can be represented by models that evolve over time. Each element of the real world is transported, from a physical space to a virtualized space, where known laws, data from empirical experimentation and historical extrapolations govern.
Currently, technology and medicine are interrelated, with electronics, informatics and Information Technologies (ICT’s), which are the set of tools related to the transmission, processing and digital storage of information, have allowed the work of the health professional to have more and better tools for their fundamental purposes.
Virtual simulation uses different media to reproduce real conditions in controlled scenarios. It is a didactic strategy, which allows training in a systematic way and faithful to reality of a clinical context, to students in the area of health, which guarantees professional skills in a safe and risk-free way.
