Digital Surgery Platform with surgical applications combines digital imaging with software in ways optical imaging systems like microscopes cannot. TrueVision was founded on the core belief that the future of microsurgery is digital rather than optical. This is how I helped them.

The replacement of traditional optical microscopes
The key statement about this Truevision's technology is that it converts existing microscopes into a heads-up surgery system and adds applications capabilities not available in traditional optical Microscopes. No more looking through a microscope. I helped develop a 3D User Interface that works in conjunction with 3D LIVE IMAGE overlays.
The UI was developed around a revolutionary robotic digital surgical microscope that replaces the traditional optical microscopes allowing for heads-up surgery with augmented reality applications.
Project Kickoff Below are snapshots of the state of the UI at the time of my first meeting with TrueVision.
Flowchart Development
Below is a look at the REV19 version of the flowchart development. Also, overlayed is the pixel boundary and pixel dimensioning document that was created to located the LEFT image asset - RIGHT image asset- disparity between both assets (this moves the asset forward and backward in space - zero plane being the back) - and where each asset should be placed in relation to the (0,0) upper left corner.
Phase I User Interface Ideation
UI was started after the a few revisions of the flowchart to ensure the user flow was heading in the correct direction before themes were explored.
FINAL UI layout before 3D for development initialized
The UI theme and asset layout was all developed in 2D before the more involved 3D phase moved forward.
Background Reskin Exploration
This exercise was kicked off a year after the initial software release. Themes were all rendered in 3D, which allowed the texture (paper, sand, wood, transparent glass ripple, carbon fiber, woven metal, leather, ect.) to really pop off the screen during the design review.
I love that this product is out in the field and that I was part of it. TrueVision was an amazing client and was always willing to listen to "ease of use conversions" VS "what can we do in 3D because we can". Just an amazing TEAM project!
