Virtual Reality (VR) is a highly evolving domain and is used in anincreasing number of areas in today's society. Among the technologiesassociated with VR and especially mobile VR, is hand tracking and handgesture recognition. Telemedicine is one of the elds where VR is startingto thrive, and so the concept of adding the use of hand gestures came to bein order to explore the possibilities that can come from it. This researchis conducted with the development of a prototype application that usessome of the most emerging technologies. Manomotion's hand trackingand hand gesture recognition algorithms, and Photon's servers and developerkit, which makes multi-user applications achievable, allowed theconceptual idea of the prototype to become reality. In order to test itsusability and how potential users perceive it, a user study with 24 participantswas made, 8 of which were either studying or working in themedical eld. Additional expert meetings and observations from the userstudy also contributed to ndings that helped show how hand gesturescan aect a doctor consultation in Telemedicine. Findings showed thatthe participants thought of the proposed system as a less costly and timesaving solution, and that they felt immersed in the VR. The hand gestureswere accepted and understood. The participants did not have dicultieson learning or executing them, and had control of the prototype environment.In addition, the data showed that participants considered it to beusable in the medical eld in the future.
