How do you train someone to deactivate a landmine, work with pathogens in a lab or triage disaster victims with head injuries? Very, very carefully. Typically, training for hazardous, high-risk jobs is an expensive production involving dozens of individuals playing roles, supervisors taking notes and an environment that doesn’t account for unexpected issues that can arise in the chaos of actual events. A team of technologists at management and technology consulting and engineering services firm Booz Allen Hamilton is turning to immersive virtual reality environments, powered by NVIDIA GPUs, t ..read more

The Real Cutting-Edge: Proprio Fuses AI, VR, Computer Vision for Precision in Surgery
NVIDIA | Virtual Reality
by Nicole Castro
4M ago
When Seattle-based startup Proprio Vision says its technology for fusing human and computer vision is cutting edge, they mean it. While steady hands are an asset during surgery, seeing clearly is critical. This is why surgeons depend on a variety of technologies like glasses equipped with magnifying loupes, surgical microscopes, navigation displays and X-ray machines to guide them. But these standalone devices can’t communicate with or connect to each other. Each provides surgeons a narrow view. So they juggle between devices to prepare for and navigate operations. Proprio Vision fuses human ..read more
