Alteruna sees immersive technologies like VR and AR as frontrunners of new ways to interact with knowledge and people. Advanced hand interaction is the key technology to connect physical objects to virtual ones. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the fundament of skills acquisition and assessment.
Our commitment
TeamSimulator is a training platform that bridges the gap between need to train and be able to train. We provide training at your fingertips, regardless if you are in the clinic, in a training center, in medical school or nursing school or even at home. We apply this solution to healthcare, to the industry and to society.
Immersive learning
This is an illustration of VR in Alteruna’s TeamSimulator. The person in the video has been copied into the virtual surgery room to illustrate the sensation of being there. This is the fundamental quality of virtual reality. The user will be immersed in VR and interact with the objects and the avatars (users) there.
Resuscitate
Safer Surgery
Alteruna has a vision of safer surgery and less harm to patients. Patients undergoing surgery should have faith in their surgeons and nurses. They should have confidence in them being well trained and able to provide the best care possible. The mission of Alteruna is to develop this software for training health care professionals.
Hand Interaction
Alteruna is developing an advanced physical hand interaction technology based on object detection and gesture recognition with machine learning. The user’s own hands will continuously be tracked and rendered in their proper orientation, position and real-world scale. This allows for more exact interacting with virtual elements using hands only. Complex controllers that increase the learning curve will no longer be needed. The technology will allow for full body simulation and natural orientation in all our products. What is natural in the real world, feels natural in the virtual world.
INTERNET OF THINGS
Alteruna is part of the Terminet-consortium. It is a fully sponsored EU-project over three years. 27 European universities, research organisations and tech companies develop the future of Internet of Things (IoT). Alteruna’s TeamSimulator will serve as the testbed for multiuser training in healthcare, using low latency streaming over 5G.
INTERNATIONAL MEDTECH LICENSES TEAMSIMULATOR
Stryker AB, a subsidiary of the international medtech supplier Stryker, has licensed Alteruna’s TeamSimulator. Hospitals in the four Nordic countries are using the training simulator for hip surgery training. It is procedural training for a trochantric fracture, a common trauma when elderly people fall. The simulator supports Stryker’s Gamma3 implants and operative method.
MULTIPLAYER AND STREAMING
Alteruna has developed a complete multiplayer solution – interact with any device from anywhere. The user can start or join a virtual reality training session from VR, from a thin client on a desktop or a mobile. It is even possible to use the web browser to participate through Alteruna’s interactive streaming solution.
The Alteruna Team
The team behind Alteruna has deep knowledge in educational technology, virtual reality, game development, telecom, healthtech and artificial intelligence. This background is essential for creating a significantly enhanced user experience and a world class immersive training application.
