Second-year medical students from the Uniformed Services University (USU) practice their ultrasound techniques in a Wide Area Virtual Environment. Also known as the WAVE, the large-scale simulator is part of USU's Val G Hemming Simulation Center, and is designed to train medical teams in battlefield and natural-disaster scenarios. The WAVE displays three-dimensional images on three vertical screens to immerse learners in a virtual setting. Unlike simulators that use computer monitors or head-mounted displays, the 8,000-square-foot virtual space created by the WAVE also allows learners to interact with each other and real equipment, and gives instructors the opportunity to teach and assess teamwork skills.
