UX Improvements: Enhancing User Experience and Control
Because we don´t stop to make things easier, we always strive to improve user experience. Hence, we further enhanced our features and added functionality.
DualView: Autonomous Lifting for the Assist HMD
Within the DualView feature we empowered the Assist HMD to control the eyepieces independently from the Lead HMD. This enables the assisting surgeon to switch between the micro- or macroscopic view in a self-determined manner, providing greater freedom and control for the user.
New Position for the Lead HMD
With the new Lead HMD position, the user can now work from "behind" the camera head, providing more options for the placement of the RoboticScope.
New Modes for the Manual Movement Tool
To further ease manual control three new functions were added to the Movement Tool: Height, Image, and Orbit. This facilitates the general setup process and allows for fine adjustments of the camera head position, viewing angle, and focus, while improving accuracy and efficiency.
Camera Rotation Enabled in HMD UI
As an extension of the Focus Mode, the user can now additionally rotate the camera along the image axis by looking to the left or right. This allows perfect alignment with the anatomic structure, such as blood vessels for procedures like microvascular anastomosis.
3D-Joystick Adjustments
For ease of use, the 3D-Joystick was finetuned to further separate input for rotational and translational movements. This brings more control over the camera head, while the user is now provided with two movement speeds for fine and large adjustments.
Drape Procedure
After draping the RoboticScope. the user can now freely choose the next position improving usability and flexibility.
MediaTool Improvements
Users can now choose to additionally record the HMD UI, including the surgeon's interaction with it, by activating the recording feature in the Media Library.
Spectator Screen Modes
To externally display the RoboticScope video feed, all common 3D spectator screens are now supported.
Increased HMD Eyepieces Lifting Speed
As part of the RoboticScope's continuous improvements, the lifting speed of the HMD eyepieces has been increased for a more natural and faster switch between micro- and macroscopic views.
