Enhancing three-dimensional anatomical understanding in complex thoracic surgery: a comparative study of OpVerse and Synapse 3D
OpVerse, our streaming VR simulation platform, enables the manipulation and visualization of patient-specific digital twin thoracic models through features such as rotation, enhanced visual transparency effects and measurement. Preliminary results suggest that OpVerse may offer advantages in terms of immersion, ease of use and understanding of 3D anatomical structures compared to Synapse 3D.
