We introduce a proof-of-concept extended reality (XR) environment for discussing cancer, presenting genomic information from multiple tumour sites in the context of 3D tumour models generated from CT scans. This tool enhances multidisciplinary discussions. Clinicians and cancer researchers explored its use in oncology, sharing perspectives on XR's potential for use in molecular tumour boards, clinician-patient communication, and education. XR serves as a universal language, fostering collaborative decision-making in oncology.

Remote Extended Reality with Markerless Motion Tracking for Sitting Posture Training.

IEEE Robot Autom Lett

November 2024

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Columbia University, New York, NY, 10027, USA.; Department of Rehabilitation and Regenerative Medicine, Columbia University, New York, NY, 10027, USA.

Dynamic postural control during sitting is essential for functional mobility and daily activities. Extended reality (XR) presents a promising solution for posture training in addressing conventional training limitations related to patient accessibility and ecological validity. We developed a remote XR rehabilitation system with markerless motion tracking for sitting posture training.

In recent years, providing additional visual feedback about the interaction forces has been found to offer benefits to haptic-assisted teleoperation. However, there is limited insight into the effects of the design of force feedback-related visual cues and the type of visual display on the performance of teleoperation of robotic arms executing industrial tasks. In this study, we provide new insights into this interaction by extending these findings to the haptic assistance teleoperation of a simulated robotic arm in a virtual environment, in which the haptic assistance is comprised of a set of virtual fixtures.

Extended Reality Technology for Alleviating Adult Dental Anxiety: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

J Dent

December 2024

The Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China. Electronic address:

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of extended reality (XR) technology in reducing dental anxiety in adults, through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: Comprehensive electronic and manual searches were conducted to identify randomized controlled trials published up to November 23, 2024, with no restrictions on publication year or language. Key outcomes included changes in anxiety and pain levels and cardiovascular indicators, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation (SpO2).
