Social virtual reality (VR) invites multiple users to interact in a shared immersive environment, which can be potentially useful for remote personalized healthcare. This demo presents a social VR clinic that allows patients to consult a nurse represented as a virtual avatar. It offers a "walk-in" virtual surgery room, enables patients to interact with animated virtual 3D artifacts, and train the patient to use an injection tool wearing a pair of mechanical VR gloves that provide haptic feedback (SenseGlove). The demo shows the potential of social VR as a new tool to help patients receive remote personalized medical care.
