Abstract

. In fields such as medical and dental education, Virtual Reality (VR) has shown immense potential for immersive and experiential learning. VR enables realistic virtual patient simulations, providing students with the opportunity to practice a wide range of procedures in a controlled and risk-free virtual setting prior to engaging with actual patients. However, the creation of VR learning experiences poses a significant challenge for many instructors, impeding its widespread adoption and effective use. In this work-in-progress paper, we first report on a study aimed at assessing the difficulties faced by dental instructors in utilising Virtual Reality Haptic Dental Simulators in their teaching. We then present our efforts to develop an AI-aided multimedia content authoring tool tailored for haptic VR dental simulators. This tool is intended to alleviate the need for instructors to possess advanced technical skills, allowing them to focus on their core strengths: subject-matter expertise and instructional design. We describe two approaches: a text-to-3D model generation method enhanced with enriched prompts, and an image-to-3D model generation method, which will soon be capable of incorporating instructional guidelines to generate diverse learning scenarios and use cases.
