VR brings Life to Health Care Thanks to the Spencer S. Eccles Family Endowment

Virtual reality (VR) is transforming the way healthcare is accessed, prescribed, and taught around the world. Thanks to the Spencer S. Eccles Family Endowment, the Eccles Health Sciences Library  (EHSL), the Therapeutic Games and Apps Lab are seeking proposals for medical applications and simulation projects to be developed in Virtual Reality.

Proposals can be submitted online: https://xr.utah.edu/health-sciences-education-research-in-virtual-reality/

A single proposal will be selected to receive up to $100,000 that will be used by graduate students in the Therapeutic Games and Apps Lab (The GApp Lab) to develop a prototype medical VR tool over the course of a year.
