Abstract :
The use of virtual reality (VR) systems for education can improve the learning process in health, providing more motivation and realism to users. In general, specific devices are used to increase immersion and, in general, demand an adaptation period. Natural Interaction (NI) can provide an intuitive way to interact in VR systems since it can improve and make the communication between users and the system easier. The present work investigated NI techniques provided by VR frameworks for health. As a result, was designed a structure to integrate NI techniques into a framework.
