Creative technology officer Matt Leatherbarrow and the Interactive coding team from Amplified Robot, the in-house coding team for Three Wise Monkeys recently undertook one of their most challenging and nerve racking projects providing technology and coding for the World’s first 360 live streaming across the internet. The live surgery for removal of a cancer tumour in the digestive system undertaken at St Barts, London by surgeon Shafi Ahmed attracted worldwide media attention being the first live operation streamed in 360 degree video across the internet. The film could be viewed using web browsers and mobile handsets by downloading the VRinOR app developed by Amplified Robot so that users could view the operation from within the operating theatre. The event promoted learning for medical students and interested parties using virtual reality as an education tool which is the specialism of Medical Realities for whom Amplified Robot provide virtual reality and augmented reality development and support.
