A study was performed to compare the clinical use of the VNGTG with the current diagnostic tools. The VNGTG is a topic of the dissertation work of the author of the presentation. Materials and Methods The hardware design of the VNGTG was original and made by 3D printer from FDA approved material. The software was custom made by a world leading IT company (app producer). The main functions are: video recording, screen mirroring and most advanced is the 3D presentation of the head position and movement in real time. A study was performed to compare the VNGTG with the current diagnostic tools – Frenzel goggles and conventional videonystagmograph.
