Since beginning the first High-Performance Patient Simulator(HPS)Workshop in multi-facility participation in Osaka in December 2002, 28 workshops have been held under the Japanese Association for Medical Simulation. The HPS technological backbone developed in 1995 is based on a physiological model constructed on a computer using a manikin as a man/machine interface, but in recent years transformational changes have been made with using techniques such as a remote simulation lecture(TelSim)by the development of high-speed Internet communication, an addition of augmented reality(AR)to HPS, a simulation under the virtual reality(VR)environment. As one of the topics behind these technologies, we will present an imaginative thinking towards the future of the HPS.
