Virtual reality technology in gaming is the active application of a three-dimensional (3D) artificial environment to computer games. The VR environment is created with the help of VR software and specialized devices and offered to the end user in such a way that it supersedes the real-world environment. This way, it creates a suspension of disbelief and allows a user to experience the VR environment. There three major technologies included in VR gaming namely head-mounted displays, which are very popular and have the same quality of video as the traditional gaming monitor, and surround sound systems that will produce a surround sound experience. The third type of technology is motion-based games. In this system, the gamer is tracked by the game and can move around the environment. With these types of systems, you can move around the virtual world with your head movement but if you are playing the traditional games this isn't possible and you will feel like you are inside a compute.

Knowing how drug and device studies are each regulated is important in navigating the challenges posed by studies that wish to use both. It is also important to be aware of current guidance affecting the use of both drugs and devices in a study as well current guidance affecting the classification of devices. Why should you attend: Information on drugs and devices is plentiful. But, it can also be daunting .The webinar will give attendees a foundation and a starting point on which they can build. Learning objectives: Define drug research Define device research Explore the differences between the two Describe requirements when drugs and devices are combined in one study Areas Covered in the Session: Defining Drug Research FDA approved drugs Investigational drugs Compassionate use Defining Device Research FDA approved devices 510 K devices Humanitarian Device Exemptions Invitro Diagnostic Devices Investigational Devices Federal regulations governing drugs and devices Guidance governing drugs and devices Combining devices and drugs into one study What are the requirements?
