Good Vibes with VIVE
Accelerating the world’s transition to better medical training in VR with ORamaVR
Episode 14: Show Notes.
Globally, almost five billion people do not have access to surgical healthcare today. This is a significant problem and one that can only be solved by improving training for medical practitioners. Talking to us about his solution to this issue, is Professor George Papagiannakis, founder, CEO, and CTO of ORamaVR. This company offers an IT software platform called MAGES™ SDK that empowers medical professionals and companies to create their own VR simulations. Join us to hear what MAGES stands for, why clinical trials are so important on product quality control, and why George believes that linking research fields is the key to solving the world’s problems. We also address the issue of patient-specific problems, and how MAGES incorporates a solution. Tune in to find out George's secret master plan (the low-code solution) and so much more.
Key Points From This Episode:
- Welcome to Professor George Papagiannakis, founder, CEO, and CTO of ORamaVR.
- George’s journey to where he is now, from computational biology to human health.
- The problem of lack of surgical access we are facing globally, and how ORamaVR aims to address this.
- Why clinical trials are so important in evaluating a product, and the results George has seen for SDK.
- What MAGES stands for: Multiplayer, Analytical solution, Geometric algebra, Educational editor, and Semantic simulation.
- Why linking fields of research is key to solving the world’s problems.
- Solving the patient-specific problem: the technologies needed, and why it should be automated.
- Who the target market is for MAGES and what’s needed to start creating content.
- Why making the metaverse accessible to everyone is key.
- The hospitals hiring VR developers and how they are creating a marketplace for MAGES.
- George’s take on the biggest misconceptions around the metaverse.
- George’s secret master plan: the low-code solution.

“Maybe there's another way, maybe we need better offering tools, and maybe the problem of medical VR is not a matter of content. Maybe in general, VR is not a matter of content, but is a matter of tools, and how these tools are being used to create the content that is needed.” — @gpapagian76 [0:06:35]
“Simulation-based training was used in medicine for hundreds of years. There's no question about that. The question is, can VR do it better, faster, and lower cost? That's what we are trying to prove.” — @gpapagian76 [0:14:13]
“In academia, we're very good at answering questions and finding some answers. But you need, really, the innovation part and startup universe to make the science a product.” — @gpapagian76 [0:27:05]
