A Modular Set of Mixed Reality Simulators for "Blind" and Guided Procedures

Abstract

The Regional Anesthesia (RA), Ventriculostomy (EVD), and Central Venous Access (CVA) mixed reality simulators are ready to be delivered to the DoD. All simulators exceed original specifications. The CVA simulators preliminary data indicated a potential self-study option for self-debriefing to be successful. Most training scenarios occurred with a human instructors supervision and minor intervention or interfacing. A working proof of concept TransRectal UltraSound (TRUS)-Imaged Prostate Biopsy model has been produced and initial data shows a need for the simulator among urologists. The SMARTS SDK has allowed implementation of new mixed/augmented reality simulators beyond the original five deliverables to the DoD.
