iPhone virtual reality training model for microsurgical practice

This training model will make microsurgical training less expensive and more accessible to a wide range of users.

Project Overview

This new design eliminates the need for an expensive surgical microscope by replacing it with a smartphone equipped with the model. By using a smartphone, it is also possible to stream the training to Zoom or a similar platform so training can occur virtually. The design will minimize lag time between the recording phone and projecting device for simultaneous view of both the trainee and observers, while increasing spatial awareness and depth perception via binocular live video.
