Before commercialization of a medical device, it is important to evaluate its usability. Traditional methods such as user testing to evaluate usability of medical device encountered difficulties to put participants in simulation conditions that are sufficiently realistic to be representative of real life. Virtual reality can be used to immerse participants in a high-fidelity simulation at a lower cost, but is not widely used today. This feasibility study aims to compare the results obtained between user tests in a real simulated environment and in a virtual reality environment, with feedback on the advantages and disadvantages of both conditions.
在医疗器械商业化之前，评估其可用性非常重要。传统的方法，如用户测试，在评估医疗器械的可用性时遇到了困难，因为难以将参与者置于足够真实的模拟环境中，以代表真实生活。虚拟现实可以用于以较低的成本让参与者沉浸在高保真模拟中，但目前尚未广泛使用。本可行性研究旨在比较在真实模拟环境和虚拟现实环境中进行用户测试所获得的结果，并反馈这两种环境的优缺点。
