The March issue of Canadian Healthcare Technology contains an article about the work myself, and Quantum Capture, did with two doctors at Toronto’s Sunnybrook and SickKids hospitals. The project was a VR experience to help test and train doctors on performing a fibreoptic bronchoscope intubation on a patient in the trauma centre.

You can read this article as a blog post on the Canadian Healthcare Technology site, or go to page 20 of the digital version of the magazine here.

For more info, I wrote a short article about this work back in December 2016, when Bloomburg TV Canada filmed a segment at the Quantum Capture offices. Go to this article here.

Training Trauma Center Doctors in Virtual Reality

Posted in HTC Vive, Science, Unreal Engine 4 | Leave a comment

Over the last couple of months I’ve been working with Quantum Capture on a virtual reality training application for trauma center doctors at Sunnybrook and SickKids here in Toronto. This proof-of-concept simulation has you go through a fibreoptic intubation on a patient using your hands to feed the scope down the patient’s throat, while you look on a monitor to see what the scope sees.

There has been a lot more going on at Quantum Capture that I’ve been involved in, with a focus on programming virtual humans. Bloomberg TV Canada dropped by the Quantum Capture office, and their video provides a great overview:

In Vega you are a convict doing time on a space elevator, ensuring that the cargo containers destined for the mothership are safe. Made with Unreal Engine 4, and played on the HTC Vive.

At Wearables 2016 you’ll be able to play through the 10 minute experience, leading up to its dramatic ending.
