Colonoscopy, or lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, is a medical procedure whereby displacing a flexible endoscope along the large intestine, a health care professional can perform examinations and even perform some interventions. This paper presents a Work-in-Progress towards a virtual training environment for colonoscopy, LoGIViT, based on the use of immersive technologies. Employing Unity engine and virtual reality headsets, LoGIViT aims to provide an affordable simulator reproducing the physics involved in the procedures. LoGIViT is prepared to enable the programmatic generation of large intestine scenarios with varied features and conditions dynamically generated that can be configured by the user and generated dynamically.
