Advanced Computational Intelligence Techniques for Virtual Reality in Healthcare

This book addresses the difficult task of integrating computational techniques with virtual reality and healthcare. It discusses the use of virtual reality in various areas, such as healthcare, cognitive and behavioural training, understanding mathematical graphs, human–computer interaction, fluid dynamics in healthcare industries, accurate real-time simulation, and healthcare diagnostics.

Presenting the computational techniques for virtual reality in healthcare, it is a valuable reference resource for professionals at educational institutes as well as researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners in industry.
