In the Type II Diabetes project, we are developing an immersive virtual reality experience for the University of Barcelona focused on the treatment and diagnosis of patients with Type II Diabetes.
In this experience, we are working with various specialists in nursing, podiatry, dentistry, general medicine, and vascular surgery, who are contributing their expertise in their respective fields. The user is a student at the end of their degree, whose final project is about Type II Diabetes. We will have a presentation, several interactions with various professionals through a patient, and a final conclusion with a tutor. Because there are many scenes, filming took place over three days.

These filmings have been difficult and laborious due to the complexity of the technical scenes and the fact that the recordings were carried out with professors from the University of Barcelona as well as the actress playing the patient. It is a challenge for them to perform in front of a camera, because although some are used to teaching in front of their students, the camera makes them nervous, which also complicates the proper development of the scenes.
We are very pleased with the results obtained and we are confident that this experience will greatly help students of Medicine and Health Sciences to improve their knowledge of Type II Diabetes Mellitus, which mainly affects many adults.
We would like to thank the University of Barcelona for all the facilities provided to us for filming in their spaces, and the professors who took part in this experience for their willingness and kindness, which allowed the production to be carried out very successfully.
