Combining education and gaming is rewarding. However the balance is delicate to obtain. It must be designed as a whole rather than a traditional education program with gaming elements.

We will discover during this event the educational power of digital media to increase the impact on users thanks to specalists in different fields such as education, robotic, videogame and mixed realities.

Details of the event to be released soon.

How VR helps training for Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery

VirtaMed AG celebrates 10 years as a company with an interdisciplinary background in engineering and medicine, and winner of multiple national and international awards. Our highly-qualified team of developers and specialists welcome you to our surgical simulation studio to get hands-on experience of minimally invasive surgical training.

Just as pilots use flight simulators, surgeons worldwide value our training equipment to optimally learn and prepare themselves for performing surgeries on patients.

Phil Norris, Strategic Project Manager at VirtaMed, invites you to explore how immersive VR experiences help training for minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery; synthesising highly realistic graphics with real surgical tools. The latest developments offer unique perspectives on the human anatomy by going beyond the arthroscopic view into a fully immersive experience.

VR FOR TRAINING, REHABILITATION, AND PHYSICAL EXERCISING

Have a glimpse into the EPFL research group that takes advantage of our full-body movements to achieve new classes of tasks.

This Visit will be hosted by Ronan Boulic, who leads the research group on Immersive Interactions at EPFL as a senior scientist and has been involved with research interests such as 3D interactions, motion capture, modeling, and synthesis for virtual humans and robots.

During this visit, IIG student Sidney Bovet will also present his Master’s project in Computer Science: a system to help physical therapy patients stay motivated throughout their treatment by amplifying their movements in Virtual Reality.

Following the Lab Visit:
two live demos demonstrating full-body avatar control + a networking apero
= a valuable time investment for curious minds & connoisseurs of R&D in VR!

FREE entry but mandatory registration here via our Eventbrite link, places are limited to 25!
