ES Daniel Hickey, a software engineer at South East Technological University’s Walton Institute, is at the forefront of using extended reality (XR) technologies to revolutionize healthcare training. His research focuses on developing immersive virtual and augmented reality experiences, such as a digital twin of a planned hospital in Bilbao, Spain.
As part of the DDS-MAP project, he developed a digital twin of a planned hospital in Bilbao, Spain, using blueprints provided to me by architects. This immersive virtual reality (VR) environment enables healthcare professionals to train for real-world scenarios. Additionally, he created an augmented reality (AR) application that visualises the hospital in ‘dollhouse’ mode, allowing users to explore its architectural components in detail.
