FundamentalVR, providers of immersive training technology for the medical community, launched Fundamental Surgery in the United States, what the company says is a first-of-its-kind SaaS (software as a service) software platform that combines virtual reality (VR) with haptics (the sense of touch) to create a low-cost and scalable flight-simulator like experience for trainee and qualified surgeons. Unlike other medical training simulations that make professionals feel like they have been through a game-like experience, Fundamental Surgery creates an authentic environment that lets users experience and navigate the same visuals, sounds and feelings they would during a real surgical procedure.
