The simulation must be installed on the computer first. If you see a message saying it isn't, see Simulation not installed on your device.
The parts of the portal
| Section | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Simulations | The simulations your account is licensed for, with full access to all features. |
| Self-Assessment | X-ray Pro VR with some help removed, such as preset exposure factors, to test your technique. Also theory quizzes on individual projections, covering anatomy, pathology, physics and positioning. |
| Reports | The images you have acquired in the simulation, with their details. |
| Downloads | The installers for the simulations, for Windows or Mac. Install on every computer you want to use. If your IT team has already installed it, you can skip this. |
| Device Login | Shows an 8-character code to log in on a standalone VR headset. Not used for VR connected to a PC. |
| Preferences | Choose the skin tone of your hands in the simulation, change your password, and review cookie settings. |
| Support Centre | Answers to common questions. Lecturers and IT teams can also raise a support ticket here. |
Video walkthrough
For educators
A walkthrough of the Web Portal from an educator's point of view.
- Ask the chatbot: the Ask me anything box, bottom right of any Help Center page.
- Submit a help ticket.
Help us fix it first time. A ticket that only says "it's not working" doesn't tell us what has gone wrong, so we can't fix it. We'll have to write back and ask for details, which slows everything down. Please include:
- the email address you log in with, and the name of your institution
- which simulation (X-ray Pro VR, RadSafe VR or BirthWise VR)
- which part of the portal, and what you clicked
- what happens, with any message word for word or a screenshot
- your browser (for example Chrome or Safari) and computer (Windows or Mac)
