Abstract

In recent years, 360º videos combined with virtual reality (VR) techniques have been developed so that users can experience the content and interact with the environment, rather than just watch them. These technological resources offer an immersive vision in which each person can choose where to look at. Therefore, we began to move away from the classic forms of traditional recording and reproduction to focus on the most innovative production and video viewing in 360 degrees as a more real-world technology experience that allows the visualization of panoramic images in 360º, which facilitates a complete perspective of an object or environment with a surprising luxury of details, through images captured from different angles. We present a teaching experience of 360 degree immersive visualization of an operating room and an anatomical dissection room, with the aim of generating a virtual environment for learning, training and valuing the equipment that exists in these medical rooms.
