From page 246... ...
His recent research has dealt with the use of virtual reality technology in rehabilitating patients with balance disorders, vision research on an advanced visual display technology called the virtual retinal display, and the development of a virtual clinic where he will see patients in remote locations using telemedicine. He has already demonstrated the diagnosis and treatment of vertigo patients in remote locations.
