VR Medical Checkup

Lead developer

VR Medical Checkup, primary view

01Context

An educational VR medical simulation built for HTC Vive and PC VR.

Teaching a procedure in VR means the procedure has to be modelled, not just staged. I led the system design and architecture, the physics-based interaction, the medical workflows underneath it, and the UI and backend around them.

02My Ownership

  • System Design

  • Architecture

  • XR Interaction

    Physics-based

  • Medical Workflows

  • UI

  • Backend

03Engineering Scope

Tethered PC VR, so the constraint is fidelity of interaction rather than a standalone hardware budget.

Simulation

  • System design and architecture
  • Physics-based XR interaction
  • Medical workflows

Product surface

  • UI
  • Backend

04Procedure Simulation

System view / portfolio visualization: a conceptual map of how the systems relate, not the production class graph.

  1. Trainee Input
  2. XR Interaction
  3. Medical Workflow
  4. Procedure State

Supporting services

  • UI
  • Backend

05Modelling the Procedure

The value of a medical simulation is that steps happen in the right order for the right reasons, so the medical workflow is the spine of the architecture rather than a script layered over it. Physics-based interaction lets the trainee handle instruments directly instead of choosing from a menu.

The UI and backend exist to serve that loop, presenting state to the trainee and persisting what happened in a session.

06Outcome

Built and showcased as an educational VR simulation.
