Mixed Reality Viewer

With a glance, your room is digitized for spatial computing and images are transported from Elements Viewer software on screen into the room in front of you with the help of Magic Leap spatial computing platform.



How it works together

Stepping into the world of mixed reality involves the seamless cooperation of seriously powerful technology. Follow the flow of data and discover each of the interconnected components.

Walk around and interact with the resulting mixed reality images as you would with a real patient.

Lightwear / Lightpack / Control

Enter the world of mixed reality through the Magic Leap spatial computing platform. Interact with the digital and physical world with the Lightwear, Lightpack and Control.

Expand your perspective

Broaden your perception of how you can experience and interact with patient data. Discover new ways to work together with colleagues near and far without ever leaving the room.

Change your position to change your perspective

Walk around your patient‘s anatomy in hyperrealistic 3D to gain new views.

Collaborate beyond the physical space

Work together and discuss cases with colleagues by seeing and interacting with the same data in real-time.

Move and organize data like real objects

Mixed reality utilizes the room around you to create a virtual viewing space so the scale of your data isn‘t limited by the size of a screen.

Mixed Reality in Practice

Surgical planning

Reach out and touch all the features of Elements Viewer and Smart Anatomy Views. With these perspectives, you can gain a deeper understanding of case-specific anatomy to help plan your surgical cases.

Patient consultation

Enable patients to better understand their diagnosis and the surgical approach by showing them their own anatomy and the procedural plan in 3D. Facilitate shared decision-making with patients and family members in mixed reality.

Teaching & training

Mixed Reality is the future of medical education. Students can learn about and discuss anatomy, pathology and treatment approaches in hyperrealistic 3D from the safety of their classroom.

Operating room

In the future, with a completely integrated smart operating room, you’ll be able to track your instruments in mixed reality and have all the data you need before your eyes.

  • »For me, the Mixed Reality Viewer is a game changer in teaching anatomy to our students.«
