Immersive Experiences for Learning and Practice

IMMERSE co-creates interactive XR journeys that bring science, engineering, and art to life for learners of every age. The team collaborates with schools and research labs to translate complex topics into tangible, exploratory experiences.

Each experience is designed for cross-platform delivery so that curiosity can unfold on headsets, tablets, or large shared displays. Partnerships with UZH, PH Zurich, Microsoft, Siemens, and Magic Leap support the rapid path from prototypes to classroom-ready tools.

Surgical Proficiency reimagines orthopaedic training with augmented reality and AI-assisted feedback. The simulator blends tactile practice with adaptive guidance so residents can rehearse procedures such as total hip arthroplasty safely and repeatedly.

Together with Swiss surgical societies and partners including OR-X, ROCS Balgrist, VirtaMed, Microsoft, OramaVR, and Atracsys, the programme delivers interoperable tools that support proficiency-based curricula and remote collaboration.
