Osso VR is the leading virtual reality surgical training & assessment platform. It was designed for surgeons, sales teams, and hospital staff. There are other surgical training platforms, such as Elite VR Training and Surgical Theater; however, none of these have won nearly as many awards as Osso VR. Osso VR is already very successful in what they are doing and are paving the way to medical achievements.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is being used in this product. It is most likely using a spacial sensor arrangement allowing for the user to move about in a mock surgery room using tools with their hands. This would be considered a local coordinate system since it is localized in the space of a room.

“During medical training, I realized today’s surgical training and assessment standards were broken…what’s worse, they hadn’t been significantly improved in over 100 years.”
