Conquer Mobile with Vancouver's Emily Carr University of Art and Design created the PeriopSlim VR, a technology that places surgeons in a virtual setting, according to WTVY.com.
Here are five takeaways:
1. The technology captures full body motion, letting people view themselves in a virtual setting.
2. Using the technology, surgeons can familiarize themselves with surgeries before entering the operating room.
3. The technology uses machine vision, offering a three-dimensional model of a real-world setting.
4. A person's motions perfectly match the motions in the virtual reality, providing a realistic space to practice a surgery.
5. The technology is still in the trial stage.
