Introducción: La realidad virtual como estrategia de distracción es utilizada en los centros de atención en salud, sin embargo, la evidencia no es consistente en demostrar el efecto en el control del dolor durante el proceso de venopunción. Objetivo: Describir el efecto de la realidad virtual en el dolor durante el proceso de venopunción en niños y adolescentes, en una institución privada en la ciudad de Bogotá. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio experimental aleatorizado sin cegamiento. Se realizó en el servicio de urgencias de una institución de IV nivel de atención. La muestra estuvo constituida por 46 niños y adolescente entre los 7 y 14 años. De forma aleatoria 23 estuvieron en el grupo experimental con visor de realidad virtual y 23 en el grupo control. La variable dependiente dolor fue medido antes, durante y después de la venopunción con la escala análoga para el dolor. Resultados: El dolor percibido es diferente antes o después del procedimiento, sin embargo, el uso de gafas de realidad virtual no mostro diferencias estadísticas ni clínicas durante el proceso de venopunción. Discusión: Variables como los signos vitales, tiempo de venopunción y acompañamiento mostraron ser importantes cuando se miden síntomas como el dolor en la venopunción. Conclusión: La realidad virtual puede ser usada por profesionales de enfermería, sin embargo, debe investigarse más para demostrar efecto en el control del dolor durante la venopunción, teniendo en cuenta un mayor poder del estudio, tipo de dolor y variables como acompañamiento de familiares, tiempo de experiencia del enfermero.

Virtual reality (VR) has found many applications in anesthesiology, in therapeutic areas, postoperative pain management, and education in regional anesthesia. VR has been used as a complement to pain management in several conditions. In the field of medical education, the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) with virtual reality gives rise to the creation of simulation platforms that provide a tangible experience for anesthesiologists, thereby enhancing the precision and performance of their techniques. These innovative tools offer advantages such as personalization of the educational process and the ability to recreate complex situations, which is crucial in the realm of modern medicine.

La integración de la tecnología como herramienta educativa es esencial en todas las etapas educativas. En este contexto, la realidad virtual ha emergido como una herramienta poderosa en los últimos años. A pesar de su prominencia, la investigación que demuestra su eficacia en la Educación Secundaria es escasa. Para abordar esta brecha, se llevó a cabo un meta-análisis con el objetivo de explorar y definir la influencia de la realidad virtual en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de secundaria. Los resultados principales revelan un impacto positivo en el rendimiento académico, especialmente en intervenciones de corta duración al igual que se muestran las investigaciones realizadas en otras etapas. Sin embargo, se destaca la falta de claridad en la literatura científica respecto al impacto general de las intervenciones con realidad virtual en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes en esta etapa específica. Este hallazgo resalta la necesidad de investigaciones más detalladas y concluyentes para informar mejor las prácticas educativas en el uso de la realidad virtual en la Educación Secundaria.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) in reducing pain and anxiety associated with scheduled blood draws. Material and methods: We conducted multicentre randomized clinical trial in both primary care and hospital settings. The study included children aged 7–12 years undergoing blood extraction procedures between March and October 2022. The intervention group used headsets, and the control group received usual care. Pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale and anxiety using the Groningen Distress Scale. The anxiety of the nursing staff and family satisfaction were assessed with numerical scales ranging from 1 to 10. Results: The study included 83 patients: 40 in the control group and 43 in the VR group. The median age was 10 years (range, 7−12 years). In the VR group, 83.7% of the children reported mild pain, compared to 57.5% in the control group (P = .012). Also, 93% of children in the VR group showed calm or mild anxiety (score, 1−2), compared to 72% of the control group, a difference that was not statistically significant (P = .08). Family satisfaction was higher in the RV group (score ≥ 9/10: 93% of RV group vs 72.5% of control group; P = .026). The nursing staff anxiety score was less than 5 in more than 90% of cases, with no differences between groups (P = .13). Conclusion: The use of VR during venepuncture decreases the pain perceived by children and increases the satisfaction of their families.

Play has been crucial in the evolution of our species, and has held a most important role in the development of our electronic scions as well. As the boundaries between human and machine become increasingly blurred, so do those between work and play and between life and games. The imminent advent of virtual reality as the favoured landscape for human interaction and the zest with which gamification has inherited the aims and strategies of prescriptive psychology are examples of how games will become a ferocious shaping force for our culture. Current trends lead us to believe that intelligent programs, reared in the playing of games like chess and checkers in their distant infancy, may now themselves become architects and providers of the games that will assuage an infantilized humankind.

This paper examines and discusses potential factors that may trigger authenticity in animated immersive environments. Our discussion draws upon three forms of authenticity, categorized as objective, constructive or symbolic, and existential authenticity. To explore these ideas, we present three case studies drawn from the authors' own research deploying immersive media in different contexts (educational, historical, and political). The aim is to interrogate how authenticity is conceived and constructed on three levels -- authenticity of narrative, authenticity of environment, and authenticity of action -- during the design and production process. We start by defining the concept of authenticity with reference to previous work within the fields of journalism and tourism, and then explore its specification in animated virtual reality through the case study discussion. One important conclusion from our analysis is that authenticity markers are needed to enable users to verify the information presented and trust the educational content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This study was proposed to identify the use Information and Communication Technologies of tools based on Information and Communication Technologies as simulators, applications, or simulated environments in the teaching-learning processes in human and animal health sciences in different levels of academic studies. Materials and methods: In this research, a twelve- question survey was administered to staff of simulation laboratories/centers, and undergraduate and graduate academic programs in the field of human and animal health sciences in Colombia. The survey focused on identifying simulation spaces, hardware, and software tools available. Data analysis was performed using a 95% confidence level and a minimum sample size of 15 from a population of 86 higher education institutions. Results and Discussion: A clear trend to use health-care simulation in undergraduate programs was found, followed by graduate and finally specialty programs. The most commonly used simulators are task trainers and manikins for developing motor skills. However, the number of available simulators is still insufficient, in contrast to the increased demand for the growing number of students in the health field. Conclusions: The development of new tools is a high- priority need, especially in fields such as gynecology and obstetrics, surgery, and cardiology, which require specific skills and capabilities.

Objective: The present study analyzed the Virtual-PRO program's efficacy in preventing peer sexual harassment by promoting the bystanders' active intervention and incorporating a virtual reality (VR) component. The impact of the program on sexist attitudes, moral disengagement, the intention to intervene as bystanders, and the involvement in sexual aggression and victimization was tested. Method: Virtual-PRO is a VR-enhanced sexual harassment curricular prevention program of six one-hour sessions. The evaluation comprised a pre-test, a post-test after the intervention, and a follow-up measure at three months. In the study, 579 Spanish adolescent students aged between 12 and 17 years (M = 14.76, SD = 0.88; 47.1% boys) were randomly grouped into experimental (n = 286) and control (n = 293) conditions. Results: The Virtual-PRO program effectively controlled participants' levels of sexism and reduced moral disengagement in the experimental group compared to the control group three months after the intervention. The program also showed positive results in changing bystander behavior, increasing the intention to intervene when the victim was not a friend. Finally, visual/verbal and online victimization decreased in the experimental group and increased in the control group. No differences were found for physical sexual victimization and sexual aggression. Conclusions: The first trial of the Virtual-PRO program is promising and highlights the use of VR as a sexual harassment prevention tool. Follow-up measures are essential to determine the impact of interventions accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenology of virtual reality (VR) and its impact on human experience, highlighting how immersive digital environments alter the perception of space and time and facilitate new forms of social interaction. Through a detailed bibliographic review, the practical applications and therapeutic potential of VR, as well as its ethical and social implications, were examined. Methods included the analysis of existing literature focused on the interaction between advanced technology and human experience, from a phenomenological perspective. Results revealed that VR not only changes the way individuals interact with each other and their environment but also offers unique opportunities for education and therapy. However, significant challenges related to access, equity, and potential long-term psychological consequences were identified. The discussion underscores the need for future research to delve deeper into these experiences to maximize benefits and minimize challenges. Conclusions emphasize the transformative role of VR in understanding and expanding human experience, highlighting its relevance for the future development of immersive technologies aware of their phenomenological impact.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the impact of virtual reality on the learning process in high school students. For the methodology, we used a descriptive non-experimental quantitative field approach. A survey was applied to 20 students and 20 teachers chosen intentionally from different educational institutions; written records were also kept on the observations made. The results showed that the interviewees were favorably involved with the use of virtual reality, noting a better performance in their training. Therefore, it was concluded that virtual reality constituted a motivating and effective tool for the learning progress of students at the baccalaureate level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this systematic review was to gather information regarding the implementation of Disruptive Technologies (DT) such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in secondary education. The methodology was based on the PRISMA Statement in the Scopus and Taylor & Francis databases 53 documents were retrieved using the established criteria. The findings focus on three aspects: Bibliometric analysis by year and country, implementation of AR, VR or AI and results obtained in the various fields of knowledge affected by DTs. Interventions with these technologies show a growing trend in the implementation of AR. The effectiveness of the implementation of AR, VR and AI generated cognitive, emotional, and teaching-learning process improvements. On the other hand, it is recommended to deepen the research on the implementation of these DTs and to integrate in the studies the combinations among technologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Desde sus inicios, la medicina nuclear se ha enfrentado a cambios tecnológicos que la han obligado a modificar sus modos operativos y a adecuar sus protocolos. En el campo de la cirugía radioguiada (CRG), la incorporación de la imagen gammagráfica preoperatoria y la detección intraoperatoria con la sonda gamma proporcionó un impulso definitivo a la biopsia del ganglio centinela (GC) para convertirse en el procedimiento estándar de aplicación en el melanoma y el cáncer de mama. Las diversas innovaciones tecnológicas y la adaptación consiguiente de protocolos confluyen en lo disruptivo y lo gradual. Como ejemplos evidentes tenemos la introducción de la tomografía por emisión de fotón único/tomografía computarizada (SPECT/TC) en el campo preoperatorio y las sondas Drop-in (Lightpoint Medical Ltd; Crystal photonics, Eurorad) en el intraoperatorio. Otros aspectos innovadores con posible aplicación en la CRG se basan en la utilización de la inteligencia artificial (IA), navegación y teleasistencia. Since its origins, nuclear medicine has faced technological changes that led to modifying operating modes and adapting protocols. In the field of radioguided surgery, the incorporation of preoperative scintigraphic imaging and intraoperative detection with the gamma probe provided a definitive boost to sentinel lymph node biopsy to become a standard procedure for melanoma and breast cancer. The various technological innovations and consequent adaptation of protocols come together in the coexistence of the disruptive and the gradual. As obvious examples we have the introduction of SPECT/CT in the preoperative field and Drop-in probes in the intraoperative field. Other innovative aspects with possible application in radio-guided surgery are based on the application of artificial intelligence, navigation and telecare. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Esta investigación examina el impacto de la Realidad Aumentada y la Realidad Virtual en el rendimiento académico y la inclusión educativa universitaria. Se empleó un enfoque de métodos mixtos, combinando análisis cuantitativo del rendimiento y evaluación cualitativa en estudiantes mediante un cuestionario ad hoc. Con 400 estudiantes de educación en España, se concluyó que el uso de RV y RA en la enseñanza de matemáticas mejoró significativamente el rendimiento académico, evidenciado por un mejor desempeño en la resolución práctica y teórica de problemas matemáticos. Según los alumnos, estas tecnologías fomentaron experiencias de aprendizaje personalizadas, atractivas e inclusivas, sugiriendo que abordan diversas necesidades en el aprendizaje matemático en la universidad. En la discusión, se respalda la efectividad de la RV y RA como herramientas pedagógicas inclusivas en matemáticas, pero se destaca la necesidad de atender desafíos técnicos y logísticos, así como de capacitar a los educadores para aprovechar plenamente estas tecnologías en el aula.

La moda es un sector clave del tejido económico y cultural. El Covid-19 sirvió de estímulo para la aparición de vanguardistas soluciones tecnológicas. En este contexto, cobran visibilidad los mundos virtuales, entornos digitales replican el ámbito real. Se fija por objeto demostrar la viabilidad y recepción de estos espacios como formas de comunicar y hacer moda entre personas vinculadas a dicho sector. El escalafón final se halla en el abstracto concepto del metaverso, lugares donde algunos ven el futuro de la moda e Internet. Se realiza un estudio de caso apoyado en un cuestionario Likert de la Metaverse Fashion Week (Decentraland), evento pionero y paradigmático donde diversas firmas se reúnen para superar barreras espaciales y abordar una dimensión que implica la aparición de un mercado basado en lo virtual. Los resultados apuntan a que dichas narrativas han llegado a un punto suficiente de madurez y que su acogida será favorable entre el público especializado a medio plazo.

El término realidad virtual es entendido como un escenario tridimensional simulado por computadora, en el que es posible experimentar el entorno mediante el uso de algún dispositivo electrónico especial. En el campo de la publicidad y la mercadotecnia, la realidad virtual permite a los consumidores simular la experiencia de consumo, lo que facilita la evaluación del producto y puede eliminar la indecisión de compra. Sin embargo, su uso es menos conocido en empresas pequeñas. En este trabajo se prueba un anuncio de realidad virtual y un anuncio tradicional de una panadería de Comala, Colima, México, para medir el efecto en dos grupos de edad: de 18 a 25 años y mayor a 25 años. Los hallazgos muestran que la publicidad de realidad virtual tiene un efecto significativo sobre la publicidad tradicional en la permanencia en la mente de los consumidores jóvenes y en la intención de compartir.
