  1. Virtual Environment for Teaching and Training in Health Care Best Practices Sabarish V. Babu, PhD Assistant Professor Human-Centered Computing Division School of Computing Clemson University

  2. Virtual Humans • Conversational agents in social settings. • Virtual humans to teach cultural competency in immersive virtual environments. Babu, S., Schmugge, S., Inugala, R., Rao, S., Barnes, T., Hodges, L.F. Marve: a prototype virtual human interface framework for studying human-virtual human interaction. in Proceedings of 5th International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA 2005) Babu, S., Suma, E., Barnes, T., Hodges, L.F. “Can Immersive Virtual Humans Teach Social Conversational Protocols?” in Proceeding of the IEEE International Conference in Virtual Reality 2007 (IEEE VR 2007)

  5. Current applications: Patient interview training [UF] Mission Rehearsal Exercises [USC] Practice Negotiation skills [USC] Related Work

  6. Current Work In Progress: VR-EPI Virtual Environments for teaching and training hand hygiene protocols • Goal: Train health care workers in the five moments of hand washing developed by the WHO. • Collaborative project with the University of Iowa, School of Medicine. • Create a 3D simulation in which health care workers can learn and identify the correct moments of hand hygiene.
