VR Talks at the EAPC Congress in Helsinki! The project will be represented with a session at the EAPC Congress in Helsinki from May 29-31, 2025.
VR-Talks starts testing!
Our partner universities in Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, the Czech Republic and Germany started testing VR-Technology this month.
Students are conducting simulated conversations with patients/relatives guided by lecturers.
Students and lecturers will then evaluate their learning and teaching experience. Testing is expected to be completed by the end of February 2025.
In May 2024 Jan Hrdlicka presented our VR-TALKS project at the European Association for Palliative Care congress in Barcelona.
