For the ESVS 39th Annual Meeting in Instanbul we created a new XR experience for the Philips Nexcimer Laser System on the Apple Vision Pro. The user is able to examine the various supported catheters as well as take a guided demo while operating the laser system.

Don’t pin this on me
Another idea pushed itself into my mind. Guess if you can see what this one is about.
Out of all proportions
This idea came to me while I was putting together some electrical connections. It took some 3D modelling and quite a few trials to get the various screw threads right but in the end it turned out quite well.
Paint brush stand
Artist Hester Verbeek had difficulty finding a solid and stable painting brushes holder. Together we designed, printed and tested several designs until we ended up with this. A soild and functional painting brushes stand.
Thunderous light
Of course I couldn’t resist printing my favourite Thunderbird. Someone suggested turning it into a lamp. As it turned out that was a very bright idea.
More simulations
At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) conference of 2022 we not only showed an updated version of the Azurion simulation we made for the RSNA of 2021 but we also added a second simulation based on the same principles. These simulations are not only very successful they also significantly reduce the cost of attending these conferences as it is no longer necessary to ship and install actual systems.
RSNA 2021
For the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference of 2021 we created a simulation of the new integrated multi-modality viewing and control Azurion systems which automatically integrates the imaging data from multiple sources. The “control room” uses the actual control devices and the “examination room” is simulated on a large LED-screen allowing the user to experience a number of clinical scenarios.
Ahorse – a cinematic VR installation
Ahorse is a cinematic VR installation produced and directed by Wendy Gutman. A 360 video transitions into a 3D world which is experienced on horseback. The installation consists of a VR headset combined with a small motion platform. The motion platform has an inflatable and moving saddle as well as a virtual set of reigns that allows the user to control direction and speed. Oddz made modifications to the AI way-point software that controls the horse in order to allow the user some degree of freedom in choosing their path through the virtual world. Oddz also created the software that links all functions of the motion platform with the virtual world experience through an Arduino.
Ahorse is currently touring all major VR festivals worldwide.
VR multiplayer obstacle course
In collaboration with The VR Room we created a VR multiplayer experience aimed at people new to virtual reality. A simple obstacle course set in an environment to get the most from a first time VR experience, yet with enough of a challenge to make the competition element fun if you want it to be.
This application is available for licensing through ODDZ. See the product details page for more information.
This 360 video can be played back on any device that supports this feature. In a browser you can move the camera using the mouse.
Redend the game
If you are fond of games like Candy Crush but don’t like those colours that give you dental caries just by looking at them. If you would like a game a little more steam punk. If you would like a design that would have made Jheronimus Bosch proud and if you like the stop-motion animation film Red-end and the Factory Plant then this is the game for you.
In 50 beautifully crafted levels (more to follow in later versions) you battle your way to solve puzzles while you find yourself mired in slices of Pitcher Plant, blocked by bulky iron plates, confined in cast iron cages or pursued by carnivorous plants. You will be limited in the number of moves or the amount of time available.
When you complete a level while achieving the goals set for that level you will be granted a Torscar (the film Oscar in the world of insects). Based on the world depicted by the stop-motion animation film Red-end and the Factory Plant. You will find much imagery from that film in this game.
We hope you enjoy it.
