A leading medical school sought a cost-effective way to modernize its preparative anatomy training. Traditional lab sessions were expensive due to cadaveric materials, and printed anatomy study guides lacked interactivity. The administration aimed to enhance student engagement, optimize lab resources, and provide an alternative to static learning materials using immersive VR technology.
- Questlogic differentiated itself by optimizing VR performance through low-poly medical models, ensuring seamless interaction on Oculus devices without compromising anatomical accuracy.
- Unlike competitors relying on generic 3D assets, Questlogic developed custom, course-specific models tailored to the curriculum, enhancing student engagement and retention.
- The team’s deep Unity expertise enabled the creation of an interactive, immersive study environment with realistic physics and responsive controls.
- By focusing on cost-efficiency, Questlogic helped medical institutions achieve a 21% reduction in lab expenses, making VR adoption financially viable where competitors couldn’t.
- With early access deployment, the platform ensured every student could study at their own pace before lab sessions, giving universities a scalable, future-proof educational solution.
- Engine: Unity (URP for optimized rendering)
- VR Hardware: Oculus Quest Series
- 3D Assets: Blender, Maya, Substance Painter (low-poly optimized medical models)
- Development Tools: C#, Unity XR SDK, OpenXR
- Performance Enhancements: Shader optimization, GPU instancing, and efficient texture atlasing
Questlogic designed and implemented an interactive VR platform for Oculus, leveraging the Unity engine to create an engaging and scalable learning experience. The project included:
- Custom VR Learning Environment: Developed a fully interactive, high-fidelity VR experience for anatomical education, enabling students to explore 3D models in an intuitive, real-time setting.
- Optimized Low-Polygon Medical Models: Created a set of highly optimized anatomical structures, balancing visual detail with system performance to ensure seamless real-time rendering.
- Cross-Platform Performance Tuning: Applied advanced Unity optimizations, including baked lighting, occlusion culling, and LOD (Level of Detail) techniques, to maintain smooth operation on Oculus devices.
- Immersive Study Features: Implemented interactive dissection tools, dynamic annotations, and guided tutorials to replicate the experience of hands-on cadaveric study within a virtual space.
The biggest challenge of the project was finding the right balance between VR system performance and medical accuracy, compared to game development where creative style permits some flexibility.
