Abstract:
VIRA is a virtual reality telepresence robot which utilizes stateof-
the- art virtual reality combined with live 360° video. It is
specifically designed for healthcare providers and allow them to
have fully immersive ‘virtual presence’ from any remote location.
Navigation system for VIRA is developed and can be
implemented for real-time navigation of mobile robot.
In our work we developed system that supports live video
streaming from any remote location as well as video & audio
transmission, the video is configured in dual-screen and viewed in
Virtual Reality environment. The user's head motions are
recorded, and the robot camera moves in response, creating an
immersive experience. A gesture-based navigation system using
Gyro-scope glove controls the robot mobility. Furthermore, in
VR, a pop-up module shows important clinical information about
the discovered patient in a pop-up form in front of the doctor.
