SimSEAH is a virtual reality-based training simulation for training ophthalmologists' strabismus diagnosis performance. This project was conducted in collaboration with Chonnam National University Medical School and Hospital's Ophthalmology department.

• Platform: Virtual Reality

• Functions: 4 categories (13 types in total) (Ocular motility, Comitant strabismus, Incomitant strabismus, specific strabismus)

Roles

• Implemented various strabismus types in a virtual reality environment through Unity 3D, iClone, DAZ 3D, and SketchUp.

• Assisted as an intermediate bridge in collaborative research.

• Assessed/modified simulation by evaluating learners' experiences through questionnaires and interviews.
