摘要

本文探讨了数字仿真技术中虚拟现实（virtual reality，VR）和增强现实（augmented reality，AR）技术在外科临床教学中的革命性作用。这些技术可以提供安全、可控的学习环境，促进学生的个性化学习和远程教学，使外科临床教学更加高效和安全。还讨论了成为一款有效的AR/VR外科临床教学软件应具备的要素和标准，包括真实的模拟环境、互动性、教学内容的广度与深度、用户友好的界面设计、个性化学习计划、多用户交互功能、数据驱动的分析、技术的前瞻性和兼容性、符合医学教学标准以及安全性和隐私保护等。尽管存在着高昂成本和技术复杂度的挑战，数字仿真技术预计将持续扩大和深化其在外科临床教学领域的应用，改变教学方式，并提高教学质量和手术安全性。

Abstract

This article explores the revolutionary role of digital simulation technologies virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in surgical clinical teaching. These technologies can provide a safe and controllable learning environment

promote personalized learning and remote teaching for students

and enhance the efficiency and safety of surgical clinical teaching. We also discussed the elements and standards required for an effective AR/VR surgical clinical teaching software. These include a realistic simulation environment

interactivity

breadth and depth of teaching content

user-friendly interface design

personalized learning plans

multi-user interaction functions

data-driven analysis

technological foresight and compatibility

compliance with medical teaching standards

and security and privacy protection. Despite challenges such as high cost and technological complexity

digital simulation technologies are expected to continue expanding and deepening their applications in surgical clinical teaching

changing teaching methods and improving teaching quality and surgical safety.
