Members of VMASC are also working to create the next generation of medical simulation technology. Efforts are underway to develop a stand- alone training system for wound debridement that incorporates visual, auditory, and haptic displays operating on new algorithms for representing that tissue properties. Members are also developing an augmented garment can be worn by simulated patients who are used to training medical students how to take a history and perform physical exams. The augmented garment would reproduce the physiological sounds that correspond to various underlying conditions when the patient is examined with a stethoscope.

To date, projects at VMASC have addressed a wide range of topics in medical the modeling and simulation, from training individual procedures to modeling Hampton Roads regional medical response to a mass casualty event. Researchers have been establishing the effectiveness of commercial systems for instructing as common intravenous procedures such as cannulation and phlebotomy well as surgical procedures such as arthroscopy and colonoscopy. In addition, researchers have begun to examine the contextual factors that can compromise the ability to perform medical procedures. Several experiments were conducted in ODU’s CAVE virtual environment and showed that even simulated combat residents conditions had an adverse effect on the ability of medical students and Medical Modeling and Simulation of training, for many years, in a variety of Simulators have been a standard component military ground operations, weapons training, contexts including aviation, driver education, for air traffi and command and control operations The VMASC Battle Laboratory was at the center of the 2004 I/ITSEC of the 2004 I/ITSEC was at the center Battle Laboratory The VMASC States Joint Forces of the United the sponsorship JVTSE.
