Osso VR debuted Hand Control, a controller-free option designed to complement and enhance the training capabilities available to healthcare professionals during virtual reality training scenarios. This provides a realistic and intuitive range of motion without the need for traditional handheld controllers.
Osso VR is reported to be the first in the industry to leverage a controller-free feature specifically tailored for surgical training purposes. The Hand Control feature works by leveraging Meta’s latest hand-tracking APIs, using cutting-edge cameras on the headset to track users’ hand and finger movements within VR. Osso ensures that Hand Control seamlessly supports all standard controller interactions, giving users the freedom to choose between hands-free gestures and traditional controllers for a more personalized and immersive training experience.
This latest feature will enhance and better simulate real-life scenarios, providing healthcare professionals with the most realistic and effective tools possible. For first-time users unfamiliar with controllers, Hand Control provides a more intuitive alternative. Hand Control is particularly advantageous in situations where enhanced dexterity is required, allowing users to perform actions such as picking up, manipulating and dropping objects, passing items hand to hand, activating tools, pressing buttons, turning knobs, teleportation and snap turning—all without the need for traditional controllers. In Collaborative Training mode, the controller-free feature enhances communication and facilitates natural gestures, fostering a more immersive learning experience.
“At Osso VR, we’re all in on creating a super-realistic setup for surgeons using our devices,” said Dr. Justin Barad, MD, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and Founder/CEO of Osso VR. “Think of Hand Control as an extra tool in their toolbox, helping them learn and train with maximum realism and impact. We’ve put in the work to ensure that any new features we launch only work to improve user experience, and Hand Control allows physicians to replicate precise movements and techniques.”
