Use Cases

Medical Training in Mixed Reality

Mixed reality (MR) is revolutionizing healthcare training by merging physical simulation tools with ultra-high-resolution virtual environments. With Varjo’s photoreal headsets, medical professionals can train using real instruments in immersive settings, enhancing precision, collaboration, and safety.

Challenge

Traditional training methods either rely on expensive physical setups or purely digital simulations with limited realism or tactile interaction. Integrating real hands-on tools into engaging digital environments was inefficient and lacked fidelity.

Solution

Using Varjo’s MR with video pass-through, practitioners can interact naturally with physical simulation tools (manikins, monitors, instruments) while immersed in highly detailed virtual scenarios. This enables remote collaboration, data‑driven feedback, and highly contextual simulations

Benefits and Impact

• Hands-on realism: Physical tools operate alongside virtual scenarios for rich, tactile learning.

• Scalable collaboration: Multiple users can train together in the same immersive environment.

• Deeper engagement: High visual fidelity deepens emotional engagement and improves retention.

• Actionable insights: Enhanced tracking and analytics enable personalized feedback and skill development.

• Improved efficiency: Offers scalable training without needing costly setups or location limits.
