Surgery Academy is an online service used for watching broadcasting live and prerecorded videos of surgeries through a 360 degree immersive operating theatre experience. Surgery Academy plans to industrialize, socialize and collect a curation of surgical interventions. The learning program (MOOC-like) is developed for head mounted displays such as the Oculus Rift and Samsung Gear VR. It’s also available on PCs and mobile devices.
Surgery Academy uses Meta (AR side) and GoPro (VR side) cameras then renders the video themselves in order to create an augmented and virtual reality experience for medical students and professionals who are watching surgical procedures.
It helps med students to integrate their studies and improve their knowledge by accessing to extra informations (such as patient’s vital signs, patient’s medical imaging and so on)
A student can then watch this footage with a virtual reality headset: the stereoscopic 3D and the wide field of view create a striking immersive effect.
The student can then replay the surgery in detail and watch it through the eyes of the surgeon (POV), empowering his experience with the 3D Imagery.
