Medverse

The Medverse is a medical metaverse network module, that allows participants to join multi-user online training sessions hosted by educators and institutions. Moreover, through the Medverse, the participants can create their classes and invite other users to join.

3D Organon is the first medical education platform that introduced a VR Network function back in 2018.

The enriched multi-user VR module provides shared  learning experiences. The students now can interact in the same virtual space. More specifically, all users can communicate with their tutors and peers in real-time through voice chat and messages, as they magnify structures of interest, and observe and manipulate 3D models from various viewpoints. Our system supports various training scenarios in virtual reality, ranging from small learning groups to classroom-size education.

This module enables educators to host immersive real-time virtual rooms for students to suit in-campus or remote delivery of medical teaching. Students can access the whole knowledge base of 3D models, descriptions, cadaveric images, microscopic models, bone mapping, clinical correlations, and body actions on their headsets, using the 3D Organon tools, such as the Sectioning tool, Tumor Growth tool, and Pain Effect tool among others.

Imagine standing in your living room but feeling as though you are exploring the human body in a virtual medical lab alongside a friend who lives on the other side of the world. You are in the Medverse.

3D Organon’s innovative features are making informational medical academic content attractive and fun. In addition, the 3D Organon environment can help study various complex concepts or organs.

Interaction or peer-to-peer communication is paramount in the medical field. It is mandatory to develop social and professional interaction skills. With Medverse it is easy to crack this challenge, by allowing students to connect with others while performing academic tasks on the 3D Organon platform.

3D Organon Medverse is the ultimate fully immersive multi-user virtual experience, reaching a strong feeling of presence is a necessary step to an effective and natural VR experience, enabling more intuitive multi-user interactions in both co-located and remote settings by providing richer social cues in multimodal ways. Such interactions can transform conventional methods for learning and collaboration to another level improving the user experience and performance in given tasks.

Medical education is entering the period of greatest growth in its history. In this new educational landscape, the digital space has become integral to how we access information and communicate with one another. By entering the 3D Organon Medverse you are becoming a modern medical educator who must be able to appraise the advantages of the digital world. 3D Organon contributes to making medical education more learner-centric, horizontal, and accessible.

The updated 3D Organon multi-user module provides an amazing user experience in terms of the presence, perception, cognition, engagement, task performance, and preference while developing an environment based on additional sensory stimuli support and investigating the influence on the multi-user interactions. At the same time, it affects embodied interaction through virtual avatars.

The world’s first multi-user Medverse anatomy session was implemented in October 10, 2018, featuring medical students from Bond University. Using 3D Organon on 10x HTC VIVE Focus headsets, the immersive practical anatomy session focused on visualizing and discussing the morphology and actions of particular skeletal joints and muscles. Today, the 3D Organon XR Medverse continues to be at the forefront of medical and healthcare education. It is now being used not only for anatomy education but also for surgical planning, patient education, and interdisciplinary team training. The platform supports multi-user sessions, enabling collaborative learning and practice like never before.
