OTH Regensburg, together with the research project VReduMED, was represented with its own booth. Interested visitors had the opportunity to explore modern XR technologies and try them out themselves. A particular highlight was the Human Anatomy VR App, which allowed attendees to immerse themselves in the virtual anatomy of the human body and experience how digital learning environments can vividly support complex content. Prof. Dr. Christa Mohr emphasized: “Training Day clearly demonstrated the strong interest in modern, practice-oriented learning methods in health education.”
The booth attracted a steady stream of visitors. Many attendees took the opportunity to try on the VR headsets, ask questions about the research project, and learn more about the potential use of XR technologies in nursing and healthcare education. Anselm Stadler research assistant in the project: “Many visitors were excited to immerse themselves in virtual anatomy. Experiences like this make the added value of digital learning tools truly tangible.” The consistently positive feedback highlighted the high level of interest in innovative learning formats and digital tools for vocational training and continuing education.
The participants were individuals interested in training at the UKR, who were able to gain insights into various departments on the day, ranging from nursing to IT. In addition, representatives from OTH Regensburg were present, including Prof. Dr. Christa Mohr (Head of the Nursing Research Laboratory at OTH Regensburg), Anselm Stadler (research associate), Stephanie Teves (student assistant), and Cheryl Heinz (student assistant) from the Nursing Research Laboratory.
