Surgical training has not significantly changed in 100 years despite significant advances in nearly all areas of healthcare. Currently, medical students practise surgeries on cadavers, which causes a number of problems: 1) Cadavers are expensive, the cost of having the license, the facilities and maintaining the labs is an expensive option for medical schools. 2) They are single-use, each part of the body can only be practiced on once so if mistakes are made, students cannot reattempt the surgery. 3) They are limited in scope, live procedures cannot be practiced as they exist in a dead tissue environment with no blood flow. This means their functionality is limited to anatomical familiarity and a few orthopaedic surgeries. FundamentalVR seek to create an innovative, affordable & interactive VR solution using off-the-shelf hardware that will provide a comprehensive platform for medical students to learn and practice a variety of surgical procedures. The system can also be used unlimited times for students to repeat surgeries, assess performance and highlight areas for improvement of the trainee.

尽管在几乎所有的医疗保健领域都取得了重大进展，但100年来外科培训并没有发生重大变化。目前，医学生在尸体上进行手术，这导致了一些问题：1）尸体昂贵，拥有许可证、设施和维护实验室的成本对医学院来说是一个昂贵的选择。2)它们是一次性使用的，身体的每个部位只能练习一次，所以如果犯了错误，学生不能重新尝试手术。3)它们的范围有限，无法实施活体手术，因为它们存在于没有血液流动的死亡组织环境中。这意味着它们的功能仅限于熟悉解剖结构和一些骨科手术。FundamentalVR寻求使用现成的硬件创建一个创新的，负担得起的和交互式的VR解决方案，为医学生学习和实践各种外科手术提供一个全面的平台。该系统还可以无限次地用于学生重复手术，评估表现并突出受训者的改进领域。
