Abstract
With the spread of home medical care, it is important to increase the number of care providers who received a standard nursing education, including person except doctors and nurses. This paper reports the development of an experience-based nursing education system that supports proficiency in procedures, taking as examples endotracheal suctioning. Whole body motion and gaze of nursing practitioners during suctioning are measured. By reflecting measured data in a humanoid model in a virtual reality (VR) space, it is possible to reproduce and observe the procedure. With this system, learners can re-experience exemplary procedures from first person perspective, and instructors can observe the learner's technique from a free viewpoint and quantitatively analyze/evaluate it. By substituting the attentive guidance with the imitation of users, it can be assisted the transmission of the tips and skill that are difficult to verbalize.
