Tools in Virtual Reality

Slicer version: 5.8.1

Hi,

I am new to 3D Slicer and I am exploring the Virtual Reality extension using the HTC Vive Pro 2 headset. I am doing a project about the application of VR in the orthopaedic department in our hospital.

When I press the menu button on the controller, it opens a menu where I can choose “grab mode”, “probe mode” and “clipping mode” (and exit). But is it possible to perform measurements on the segmented model within the VR environment? So not performing the measurement on the desktop and then showing it in the VR environment, but directly in the environment as a tool?

Thanks in advance!

The in-VR interactions in the current SlicerVR are very limited. It is possible to add measurement and such, but since the infrastructure development is not funded and so probably on hold, the best option would be as a custom scripted solution. We can add this for your hospital if this project allows subcontracts, but otherwise my short answer would be that no, it is not possible.
