Abstract

Traditionally, the evaluation of medical procedures in VR simulators have been restricted to technical and individual aspects, and procedures performed by teams are normally disregarded. However, some computer architectures have been proposed in order to facilitate the evaluation process of surgical teams supported by Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) training. This paper aims to discuss some possibilities and advantages of CVEs for teams assessment process as well as provide an architecture for collaborative assessment, covering its essential requirements. The discussion is based on the analysis of this evaluation architecture used in a collaborative simulator named SimCEC - Collaborative Simulator for Surgery Education.
