This newsletter showcases how Mastermind VR develops custom virtual reality modules for healthcare institutions on a project basis.

Traditional cadaver labs and mannequins can’t replicate the dynamic challenges of live surgery. The types of VR scenarios we develop can adapt in real time to each user’s actions and deliver instant performance metrics. From endoscopic navigation to emergency response drills, we simulate a full spectrum of procedures. Cloud-based delivery ensures seamless updates and centralized tracking for every session. Objective data accelerates skill mastery and builds surgeon confidence before they ever enter the OR.

Here’s how our healthcare applications are redefining medical education.

Modernize your marketing with AdQuick

AdQuick unlocks the benefits of Out Of Home (OOH) advertising in a way no one else has. Approaching the problem with eyes to performance, created for marketers with the engineering excellence you’ve come to expect for the internet.

Marketers agree OOH is one of the best ways for building brand awareness, reaching new customers, and reinforcing your brand message. It’s just been difficult to scale. But with AdQuick, you can easily plan, deploy and measure campaigns just as easily as digital ads, making them a no-brainer to add to your team’s toolbox.

Why VR Training Matters

Traditional training depends on videos or manned practice sessions that vary in quality and incur real risks.

Our virtual reality platform standardizes education. Every trainee experiences the same high-fidelity scenario. Real-time feedback tracks cutting depth, instrument precision, and error rates. Post-session tests verify knowledge gains. This measurable progress accelerates learning and boosts confidence  .

Three Scalable Investment Paths

We offer three development paths to match your training goals and available resources. Each represents a common project scope we can build from scratch:

1. Minimal Version (50,000 to 100,000 EUR)

   • Uses VR headsets such as Meta Quest 3 in two to three sets

   • Includes basic 3D eye models for procedures like LASIK and cataract surgery

   • Delivers real-time precision feedback and post-training knowledge checks 

2. Standard Version (100,000 to 250,000 EUR)

   • Adds simple force-feedback controllers for haptic realism

   • Runs on cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure) for central deployment and automatic scaling

   • Enables team training in emergency scenarios such as acute retina detachment

   • Integrates with learning management systems for certification tracking 

3. Premium Version (250,000 to 500,000 EUR)

   • Combines XR visualization in simulated operating rooms with AI-driven error detection

   • Offers dynamic before-and-after pathology models (for example, cataract vision improvement)

   • Provides personalized training paths based on individual performance data

   • Ensures full compliance with GDPR data encryption and audit trails 

Core Technology Stack

Our platform runs on leading tools supported by a scalable cloud backbone:

• Software: Unity 3D or Unreal Engine for simulation. Blender or Maya for 3D modeling. TensorFlow or PyTorch for AI analysis.

• Hardware: Meta Quest 3, Apple Vision Pro or Pico 4 Ultra headsets. Force-feedback haptic controllers. Corporate cloud or AWS/Azure servers.

• Security: AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest to meet GDPR standards 

Team and Timeline

A compact specialist team delivers end-to-end development:

1. Three to five developers (Unity or Unreal)

2. Interaction designers and 3D modelers

3. IT project lead and optional medical advisor

The typical duration of a project ranges from six to twelve months, depending on its scope.

Use Case Examples

• LASIK Simulation: Step-by-step corneal models with real-time cut depth feedback and post-test verification.

• Retina-Surgery Module: High-detail volumetric models, XR visualization of postoperative vision and AI-based error analysis.

• Endoscopy Team Training: Simulated gastrointestinal procedures with step-by-step scope guidance, error logging, and knowledge testing for junior staff. This is a case study we built from scratch for Karl Storz.

• Pediatric Emergency Drill: Multi-user VR scenario for pediatric CPR and trauma triage under stress conditions; includes haptic response and LMS integration.

• Urology Surgical Suite: AI-driven simulation of TURP and nephrectomy procedures with pathology model transitions, voice-controlled instruments, and real-time error correction feedback.
