Medtronic VR TruClear™ Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System Simulation
Immersive VR Training for Hysteroscopy Simulation
The goal of the project was to build a fully immersive VR solution that could replace traditional large-scale electronic PC based simulators and be easily used for training and education, as well as precise product and procedure demonstration with the TruClear™ Hysteroscopic Tissue Removal System, bringing force maximum realism for the user. VR experience is suitable for live simulation multiplayer, accurately represents the real procedure and involving teamwork, allowing to supervise, advise, oversee and learn remotely in an immersive OR environment in real-time.
Bringing forth maximum realism through a detailed and precise reaction of anatomy, hysteroscopy, and fully functional fluid management systems, the solution fully recreates the tool mechanism starting from the source of light, camera, a rotating shaver blade that chips off the pieces of pathological tissue, a fluid management and suction system ensuring the fluid circulation of saline solution.
The Features of The VR Solution
The core of this solution lies within the “7 degrees of freedom” 1-to-1 visual and tactile replica of the system’s moving parts controlled by the doctor during the actual procedure. The VR solution allows for faster data transfer and update, system and demonstration effectiveness, as well as post-procedure feeling of accomplishment triggered by tactile memory and precise hands-on immersive experience.
The VR simulation solution helped to increase the number of interactions with the product during the industry conferences by 90% by reducing the procedure complexity and bringing forth a new approach in mechanics.
