VRiMS specialises in creating extended reality resources through virtual reality, augmented reality, and the metaverse. Our primary focus is on medical and surgical education and global health. Led by Professor Jagtar Dhanda, our team of doctors, surgeons, academic professors and technical experts visits hospitals and medical schools around the world delivering hands-on live surgical as well as cadaveric training. Our mission is to develop training resources for low to middle-income countries utilising extended reality technologies. In addition to being a resource creation entity, VRiMS is also a research group. We deploy scientific methodologies to assess the benefits of using extended reality in medical and surgical education. Our innovative approach involves live streaming of 360-degree videos in a virtual studio setup, making use of the entire 360 space with several camera overlays. Our content spans all surgical specialities. Currently, the VRiMS team travels extensively, hosting live streaming events globally to produce additional resources for low to middle-income countries.
