Abstract
We report the technical specifications of a VR system for clinical medicine based on the results of research and the development of a VR system at National Cancer Center Hospital. An analysis of the process of clinical medicine is very important when constructing a medical VR system for clinical use. VR systems for this purpose can be classified into three types. Type A is for the storage and retrieval of medical information. Type B is for the acquisition of medical information and knowledge. Type C is for the expansion of experience through the use of virtual environments, such as a surgical simulation. The use of reflection technology in VR space varies for the three types of systems.
