这一新解决方案旨在帮助患者在牙科手术过程中保持放松和平静，而不会在治疗过程中干扰临床医生。

This new solution aims to help keep patients relaxed and calm during dental procedures without interfering with clinicians during treatment.

Paperplane Therapeutics 凭借其 Dream Dental 虚拟现实 (VR) 解决方案，旨在减少牙科患者造成的干扰及其对牙科治疗的焦虑，从而帮助牙科诊所提高效率。

With its Dream Dental virtual reality (VR) solution, Paperplane Therapeutics is aiming to help dental practices increase efficiency by decreasing disruptions caused by dental patients and their anxiety about dental treatment.

Dream Dental 平台的开发考虑了牙医的需求。患者佩戴 VR 耳机，沉浸在游戏或一系列谜题中，让患者专注于虚拟环境，而不是他们对牙科护理可能感到的不适或恐惧。虽然大多数 VR 环境将观看者置于一个 3 维空间中，当观看者的头部转动时，该空间会发生变化，但牙科患者在治疗过程中需要保持静止，而 Dream Dental 平台的设计使得当患者头部移动时，虚拟环境会缩小直至运动停止。Paperplane Therapeutics 的代表表示，通过该系统，患者很快就能学会保持静止，以确保不间断的 VR 体验。

The Dream Dental platform was developed with the needs of dental practitioners in mind. Patients wear a VR headset and are immersed in a game or series of puzzles that keep the patient focused on the virtual environment rather than the discomfort or fear they might feel about their dental care. While most VR environments put a viewer in a 3-dimensional space that changes when the viewer’s head turns, dental patients need to remain still during treatment, and the Dream Dental platform is designed so that when the patient’s head moves, the virtual environment narrows in until the motion is stopped. With this system patients quickly learn to keep still to ensure an uninterrupted VR experience, according to representatives from Paperplane Therapeutics.

临床医生可以通过 iPad 控制 VR 耳机中显示的体验，并可以在屏幕上看到患者正在看的内容。这使得临床医生能够快速为患者设置 VR 体验，并确保一切正常工作。Dream Dental VR耳机包含来自虚拟环境的音频，但患者在佩戴耳机时可以清楚地听到临床医生的指令。此外，耳机内置的摄像头允许患者查看临床医生并与医生交谈，而无需摘下或调整耳机。这使得患者可以在整个预约过程中舒适地佩戴耳机。

Clinicians can control the experience being shown in the VR headset from an iPad, and can see on the screen what the patient is looking at. This allows the clinician to quickly set up the VR experience for a patient, and ensure that everything is working properly. The Dream Dental VR headset includes audio from the virtual environment, but patients can clearly hear instructions from the clinician while wearing the headset. Additionally, a camera built into the headset allows patients to view and speak with clinicians without having to remove or adjust the headset. This allows the patient to wear the headset comfortably throughout the entire appointment.

Dream Dental 平台的设计考虑了儿科患者的需求，VR 游戏是通过手持控制器以及在 VR 耳机内跟踪眼球运动的软件来玩的。这使得佩戴者能够与虚拟环境进行交互，以解决谜题或通关游戏关卡，同时让患者保持静止。

The Dream Dental platform is designed with pediatric patients in mind, and the VR games are played with a handheld control as well as software to track eye movements within the VR headset. This allows the wearer to interact with the virtual environment to solve puzzles or clear a game level while remaining still for the patient.
