About Us

We are a team of clinicians, engineers, and innovators working at the intersection of medicine and immersive technology.

OpVerse

Our mission is to make precise, real-time tumor localization more accessible, intuitive, and infrastructure-light. By integrating extended reality (XR), 3D medical imaging, and clinical insight, we aim to transform how surgeons plan and perform complex procedures—starting with lung tumor resections.

We believe that:
  • Advanced surgical guidance should not require expensive infrastructure.
  • Every surgeon—junior or experienced—deserves spatial clarity and decision support.
  • Better preoperative planning leads to safer, faster, and more confident surgery.

Our XR-guided system is already helping thoracic teams visualize tumor positions, plan safe localization paths, and simulate minimally invasive approaches—all before stepping into the OR.

Immersive Anatomy Learning

The OpVerse Immersive 3D VR Anatomy Platform redefines medical education by turning anatomy into an interactive, three-dimensional learning experience. Using extended reality (XR) and high-fidelity 3D reconstructions from medical imaging, students can explore patient-specific organ models in real time, and gain a deeper understanding of spatial relationships that traditional textbooks or 2D images cannot convey.

Core Values

The OpVerse VR platform transforms anatomy learning into an engaging, interactive process. Students can freely rotate, zoom, and examine organs in three dimensions, strengthening their spatial awareness and understanding of how vital structures relate to one another. In real time, vessels and organs can be labeled, highlighted, hidden, or made transparent, revealing relationships that would otherwise remain unseen. This dynamic exploration allows learners to move beyond static diagrams and develop a more intuitive grasp of the human body.

At the same time, the platform brings clinical-oriented learning into the classroom by reconstructing patient-specific models directly from CT or MRI data. These individualized visualizations bridge the gap between theoretical study and clinical application, helping learners connect textbook knowledge with real-world anatomy. Designed to run on a standard PC with an XR device, OpVerse eliminates the need for cadavers, dissection labs, or costly infrastructure—making advanced anatomy education more accessible, collaborative, and cost-effective than ever before.

Designed For

  • Medical Students & Residents: Build stronger 3D anatomical understanding, faster.
  • Academic & Training Centers: Deliver next-generation, interactive anatomy teaching and remote education.
  • Clinical Teams: Use patient-specific models to visualize anatomy preoperatively.

Impact

Adopted in teaching hospitals and academic centers, OpVerse VR anatomy learning shortens the time required to master complex spatial relationships, enhances anatomical confidence, and enriches collaboration across disciplines. By combining medical imaging with immersive XR, we are transforming anatomy education—from static diagrams to dynamic, interactive, and intuitive exploration.

Uniportal VATS Port Planning

The OpVerse VATS Port Planning Module empowers surgeons to design and evaluate incision strategies for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). By leveraging extended reality (XR) with patient-specific 3D reconstructions, our platform simulates multiple port placements, helping surgeons choose the most ergonomic and effective approach to optimize visibility, instrument access, and patient recovery.

Core Values

Effective port placement is critical for successful thoracoscopic surgery. The OpVerse system allows surgeons to virtually test different incision sites on a patient’s 3D model before surgery begins. This process improves preoperative planning by clarifying anatomical relationships, evaluating instrument angles, and ensuring that chosen entry points maximize visibility while minimizing risk. By simulating multiple strategies, surgical teams can select the safer and more efficient configuration tailored to each case.

Beyond planning, our platform supports surgical training and team collaboration. Surgeons can virtually explore different incision options and assess the surgical field, while residents gain valuable exposure to decision-making in a safe, interactive environment. This collaborative XR space fosters discussion between attending surgeons, trainees, and supporting staff, aligning the entire team around a well-prepared operative plan. By reducing uncertainty, VATS procedures become more predictable, efficient, and confidence-driven.

Designed For

  • Thoracic Surgeons: Optimize incision placement for better visibility, safety, and outcomes.
  • Surgical Residents: Practice port planning in an XR environment before surgery begins.

Impact

With OpVerse VATS Port Planning, hospitals can reduce operative uncertainty, shorten total surgical time, and improve ergonomics for minimally invasive thoracic procedures. By bridging patient-specific imaging with immersive XR simulation, our system enables safer, more efficient surgeries—helping teams minimize last-minute changes during surgery by preparing clear plans in advance, thereby improving patient recovery and strengthening surgical confidence.

XR-Guided Lung Nodule Localization

The XR-Guided Lung Nodule Localization Module provides clinicians with an immersive XR environment to design and validate or trajectories. By reconstructing patient-specific 3D anatomy, the platform helps surgeons plan safe, accurate routes that avoid critical structures such as vessels, bronchi, and ribs—improving both precision and patient safety.

Core Values

Accurate localization trajectory planning is one of the most delicate challenges in thoracic surgery. The OpVerse system enhances spatial awareness and risk reduction by allowing surgeons to visualize potential needle paths directly within a 3D model of the patient. With clear visibility of tumor location relative to surrounding anatomy, clinicians can identify the most direct and safest route to the target while avoiding vital structures. This capability strengthens confidence during planning and minimizes the chance of intraoperative surprises.

Beyond planning, the module supports training and collaboration. Junior clinicians can rehearse different trajectory options and immediately see the implications of each choice, while senior surgeons and multidisciplinary teams align on the optimal strategy in the same XR space. Because the solution is portable and infrastructure-light, hospitals can adopt it widely without the need for costly imaging suites—making precise preoperative planning accessible to more institutions and patients.

Designed For

  • Interventional Radiologists & Thoracic Surgeons: Plan safe and precise localization trajectory.
  • Residents & Trainees: Practice trajectory design in a controlled XR environment with immediate feedback.
  • Multidisciplinary Teams: Collaborate on patient-specific strategies to reduce risks and improve outcomes.

Impact

With OpVerse Needle Path Planning, clinicians can increase accuracy, reduce complications, and build confidence in delicate preoperative interventions. By transforming 2D imaging into intuitive 3D simulation, the system empowers surgical teams to move from estimation to evidence-based planning—delivering safer, faster, and more reliable procedures for every patient.
