HealthSim – Mixed Reality

HealthSim – Mixed Reality

Back to projects

HealthSim puts the UltraClear Laser and its five treatment modes on a pair of Xreal glasses, so operators and sales reps can learn the device without shipping, borrowing, or taking the physical machine offline. One person presents, the others follow inside the same shared scene. Built in Unity and tested in real use.

HealthSim: Simulating Medical Equipment in Mixed Reality

How we built a simulator to demonstrate and train on high-cost machinery without having the physical equipment in the room.

The Challenge

Selling and training people on the UltraClear Laser equipment is difficult without having it physically present. Moving high-cost medical devices between locations limits when and where a demonstration or training session can take place.

What We Built

We built a mixed reality simulator for the UltraClear Laser device and its five treatment modes: CLEAR, CLEAR+, ULTRA, ULTRACLEAR, and LASER-CORING.

The experience uses a presenter-receiver workflow: one person guides the demonstration while the other experiences it firsthand. It features supporting displays, explanatory videos, 3D animations of the device's handpiece, and configuration loops for each mode.

Results

  • VR training improves knowledge retention by up to 75% compared to traditional methods (PwC)
  • Companies using VR for training cut training time by up to 40% (PwC)
  • VR medical simulators reduce procedural errors by up to 40%

How It Works

The simulator runs in two modes depending on the available hardware:

  • Full Mode: Operates in 6DOF with hand tracking, allowing for natural and precise interaction with the simulated equipment.
  • Light Mode: Operates in 3DOF for more budget-friendly devices, without sacrificing the core demonstration experience.

This flexibility was a deliberate design choice: not every sales or training environment has access to the same hardware, and the solution needed to perform in both scenarios.

Current Status

The simulator is already being used by HealthSim for commercial demos and operator training. The solution is production-ready and active in real-world sales and training environments.

We built this. What can we build with you?

If you have a product or equipment that is difficult to demonstrate or train on without having it physically present, mixed reality can change the game.
