initial results are very promising - and we have created an incredibly flexible, cost-effective platform in collaboration with the University of Bern, the Institute for Medical Learning, and ORamaVR
Please get in touch if you're curious to find out more!

before obtaining their degree, medical students have to pass their #OSCE - Objective Structured Clinical Exams, the gold-standard assessment, involving actors as standardised patients.
Happy to share, we have created a #VirtualTwin of these exams, including auto-assessment: rdcu.be/eOzyX #medicalXR

Are they still made up once you start citing them? 😅

It’s so useful and unambiguous though when you use it correctly. maybe it’s a school book that was handed down and has your older sibling’s doodles in it… a stolen car… lab equipment when something suddenly does/n’t work.

Tried the tiramisu HMD now, too. Man. Kind of upset to go back to our standard headset 🤣 if they manage to combine this resolution with the FoV of the boba, we’re in trouble.

Hyperrealistic VR: a 90-PPD, 1400 nits and high contrast headset 😳

Tried to find an opportune moment when the line to test the meta boba HMD wasn’t too long 😅 NGL that extended field of view is amazing 🤯 SIGGRAPH2025
General critique of VR demos remains that… we need bodies in VR 🤣 enough with the disembodied views.

“floating in a most peculiar way”

or not. I’ll leave that up to you.
Here’s an interesting selfie (?) from the #SIGGRAH2025 art gallery. As you move around, or linger, your outline becomes intertwined / entangled with the fungi growing under a tree.
Kind of like being a postdoc.

…or how about a parasitic finger?

another user wears a sensing / sending interface so that you as receiver can perceive the orientation and location of their touch… via tingling sensations
August 11, 2025 at 9:48 PM
some really cool / bizarre demos here 😅 always interested in haptic interfaces though. How about this referred touch interface? #SIGGRAPH2025

Next up at #SIGGRAPH2025
Workshop: XR in Medicine: From the Dev Floor to the Operating Room - curious about this one.
Most speakers are from the same company (illuminate surgical)

Good to see more #medicalXR at SIGGRAPH in any case 🥽

busy here
amazing to hear some of the behind the scenes stories… “Disney suggested a musical… and adding 5-7 songs. It worked for them” 😆

uh-huh.

Heading to #SIGGRAPH2025 in Vancouver this weekend. We have a workshop (including a Swiss 🇨🇭apero) on human-centred innovation in healthcare with a focus on AI and VR #medicalXR.
Please let me know if you are in the area - happy to meet up at or around the conference.

IMO it’s something #medicalXR apps should consider a lot more for their home-space / starting point. Quite a few patients are afraid of jumping straight into VR as they lose awareness/control of their surroundings.
Start with pass through and then transition to VR, leave an option to switch…
