“Virtual Patient, which features computer generated characters to help our students both communicate and prescribe in a number of scenarios, deserved more than 2D animation if it was to be a believable experience. Specifically, it needed to be immersive.”Although originally designed as a system for just its students, there is now interest in Virtual Patient from universities and pharmaceutical companies worldwide and the University has applied for a patent. - .
