Description: “Immersive ophthalmology training system” is a “immersive ophthalmology training system” developed based on the immersive interactive device HTC Vive virtual reality helmet. It can learn and train ophthalmology-related knowledge in an immersive way through the handle and helmet. Such as cognition of eyeball structure, operation of slit lamp, etc.
Review: Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way first. Yes, ‘眼睛(眼球)结构研究 (Eye structure research’ really does cost £10,154.99 and while I thought that price was a joke at first, or possibly an error having asked the developers I can ensure you it is not, it is the correct price. This is supposed to be an educational platform for anyone wanting to become an ophthalmologist (aka: an eye surgeon). Its got all the parts labelled and removable and it is all in Chinese. While I am not going to become a medical student any time soon I get that to someone this might have value, but I am not sure anyone would be daft enough to pay that much for this no matter how good it is.
