PC Requirements for Virtual Medical Coaching VR and Desktop Solutions

This page outlines the minimum and recommended computer specifications required to run Virtual Medical Coaching simulations in VR or Desktop mode. Midwifery Simulation is available in VR only.

VR System Requirements

The following specifications apply when running Virtual Medical Coaching simulations in VR using a Windows computer connected to a compatible head-mounted display.

Your computer must also meet the minimum hardware requirements specified by your VR headset manufacturer.

Minimum PC Specifications for VR

Operating System
Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit only)

Processor
x64 architecture comparable to Intel Core i5-4590 or higher

Memory
8 GB RAM

Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or equivalent
Minimum 3 GB dedicated video memory

Graphics Interface
PCIe 2.0 16x
PCIe 3.0 8x
PCIe 4.0 8x

Systems using PCIe 2.0 16x or PCIe 3.0 8x may require reduced render scaling to maintain stable performance.

Recommended PC Specifications for VR

‍

Operating System
Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit only)

Processor
x64 architecture comparable to Intel Core i7-4790 or higher

Memory
16 GB RAM

Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 or higher
8 GB or more dedicated video memory

Graphics Interface
PCIe 3.0 16x or PCIe 4.0 8x or better

These specifications are recommended when using higher resolution headsets such as HTC Vive Pro 2.

A dedicated graphics processing unit is required for VR mode. Integrated graphics are not sufficient for stable VR performance.

Desktop requirements

Desktop mode is available for X-Ray Pro VR Suite for Radiography Education and RadSafe VR for Occupational Radiation Safety Education.

Midwifery Simulation does not have a Desktop edition.

Windows Desktop Requirements

Operating System
Windows 7 SP1 or later (64-bit only)

Processor
64-bit architecture with SSE2 support

Memory
4 GB RAM minimum

Graphics
DirectX 11 compatible GPU
Minimum 1 GB video memory

A dedicated GPU is recommended for best performance but is not strictly required if the integrated GPU provides adequate DirectX 11 support.

macOS Desktop Requirements

Operating System
macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later (64-bit only)

Processor
64-bit architecture with SSE2 support

Memory
4 GB RAM minimum

Graphics
Metal-capable Intel or AMD GPU (integrated or discrete)

Unsupported Devices

The following devices are not supported:

iPads
Chromebooks
Devices running Chrome OS

Virtual Medical Coaching simulations require system-level access to graphics drivers to render 3D medical environments in real time. Mobile operating systems and Chrome OS do not provide the required driver access. The software will not install or run correctly on these platforms.
