Objective
Of the $20m being spent on Virtual Reality Technologies in the health care industry worldwide nearly 75% is spent in the USA an that 50% is government funded research for primarily military projects. However, the rational for the application of VR technology simulation is not confined to military procedures. UK and European regulatory and certification pressures mean that even a basic fidelity of virtual human simulator is seen as a to development of specific surgical skills. Market forces are driving the development of products to meet this need, however the enabling technology is often not present in the main surgical equipment suppliers. Virtual procedure training will be cheaper, safe faster than other forms of simulated surgery training. Further, virtual procedure training will provide more positive training than ct practices of training based on mock ups using crude substitute materials. VR allows surgeons to practice hundreds of procedures to patient contact, carrying no risk to the patient and improving the success rate of the procedure. The principle industrial objective of the proposed RTD is to provide the European health care sectors with superior training and visualization that has the following advantages over current technology. _ Safe, repeatable, control-lab tools Full and part tasks training Low cost training solution Incorporation of advanced medical imaging technology Provision of tissue deformation feedback whilst also offering a platform for the incorporation of the technology to the following further medical tool developments. _ Surgical Planning, Education,_ Telemedicine,_ VR facilitated rehabilitation keyed displays with real time data fusion, disability solutions and patient

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
