VR CAVE POC

Created a POC (proof of concept) of a VR CAVE using UNICave, Unity, a collection of projectors and PCs. The CAVE consisted of 3 walls and a ceiling using a VIVE controller to allow interaction with the VR environment. POC was successful. A dedicated set of projectors an PCs is now on order. Will be continued in 2021 as there’s also some construction work that will need to be done in order to give the CAVE a permanent place in the building.

XR experience at Arab Health 2020

For the Arab Health 2020 conference in Dubai Philips created a Mixed Reality presentation as an attention grabber to pull in the crowds onto the exhibition stand. It consisted of a large interactive TV monitor mounted horizontally. A 3D printed model of an optimized cardiology department and 4 iPads.

The TV monitor showed a presentation demonstrating the optimized workflow path for patient and staff as they go about their business in the department as well as other statistics relevant to improved efficiency and patient throughput.

On the iPad visitors could select either one of the virtual patients or staff members. They could then follow the little 3D characters as they made their way around the model on top of the monitor and follow their visit or daily routine in the cardiology department.

Radiology of the future

At the RSNA 2018, Philips presented its vision on what patient and staff experience could look like in a future radiology department. Oddz created a VR experience which enabled Philips Design and Philips research to present new innovations, in the context of clinical workflow and a new enhanced patient experience.

Using immersive VR allows radiologists and hospital management to have a sneak peek at the Philips innovations to come. This gives Philips many valuable insights and feedback, which is fed back into their research and design innovation projects.
