Realistic Training of Retinal Examinations– without risk and independent from patient flow.

• Head-mounted display with virtual light source
• Different lenses
• Virtual patients with a wide range of pathologies
Light source and lens have to be exactly aligned in front of the virtual patient – just as with a real indirect ophthalmoscope.
Realistic Handling

Lifelike Experience Due to Augmented Reality
The user sees his real surroundings in 3D through the head-mounted display.
An image of the virtual patient is mapped onto the black model head.A virtual retina image is projected onto the lens.
The user sees a mixture of real-life scenes and photo-realistic virtual images of patient, lens, and retina.

Intuitive User Interface
The self-explaining control elements for light adjustment, lens selection, and the patient‘s viewing direction are easily controlled per touch screen.
The graphical user interface reflects the sub-steps of a retinal examination:
• Ophthalmoscopy• Findings• Diagnoses

Didactical Concept for Structured Learning
A curriculum of four tiers facilitates independent and structured learning. It was developed with ophthalmologists, lecturers, and learners.
The cases are created by VRmagic in collaboration with universities, hospitals, and professional associations.
Each tier comprises several courses with a multitude of cases each.
Tier A• Examination Skills
Tier B• Anatomical Structures
Tier C• Basic Findings and
Diagnoses
Tier D• Clinical Cases

Tier A: Examination Skills
Tier A trains the handling of an indirect ophthalmoscope by means of abstract cases.
• Different icons are arranged on the retina. Trainees have to find the icons and document them on a fundus scheme.
• The complete retina surface has to be examined.

Tier B: Anatomical Structures
• Trainees get an overview of anatomical structures in the posterior eye segment.
• Structures have to be found and classified in a classification scheme.
Tier B offers a variety of patients of different age and ethnicity with healthy retinas.

Tier C: Basic Findings and Diagnoses
• Trainees examine patients with known pathologies such as AMD or diabetes.
• The symptoms of the pathologies have to be found and classified.
Tier C provides an introduction into findings and diagnoses.

Tier D: Clinical CasesBased on real patient cases, Tier D teaches advanced diagnostic skills:
• Real patient history• Retinas modeled on the basis
of real fundus images• Case-related additional
diagnostics.• Multiple-choice questions
regarding pathologies and possible therapies
• Specification of findings and diagnoses
• Real fundus images and videos

Objective and ComparableEvaluation of Performance
The quality of each examination is evaluated objectively. Many different parameters are evaluated, for example:
• Actual retina surface examined by the trainee with graphic presentation
• Light exposure
• Correct, wrong, or missing findings and diagnoses.
