Virtualization Resources
MedWorx™ provides a multitude of virtualization resources to help accommodate any virtualization needs, whether it is visualizing segmented anatomy or engineered parts. Examples of past projects include pre-surgical planning of conjoined twins, determining the fit of a device in a patient’s anatomy, and allowing a surgeon to ‘step inside’ an aneurism, along with many more cases.
For those that require more niche use of Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), we provide software development. This includes the development of environments to train users and to analyze different scenarios. Currently our VR development is in Unity and languages used are C, C++, C# and Python, but we would be happy to talk with you about using other languages.

- Anatomical and device viewer
