About Us
The Perspectus platform was born out of necessity in 2014 when Dr. Tod Clapp was feeling pressure to improve the academic quality and engagement of his anatomy program at Colorado State University. As he assessed new technology and tools to enhance the student understanding, he kept finding that traditional market options were inadequate.
The solution was Virtual Reality. VR anatomy products were entering the market, but none offered the necessary teaching tools or functionality needed for effective classroom instruction: multi-user and remote sessions, VR recording of lectures (spatial recording), DICOM image uploading and manipulation, user group and direct communication with students, etc. Within the year, Tod created “BananaVision”, an early version of the Perspectus platform that he coded himself to include these critical features.
Immediate results included:
- 87% of students believed that VR promoted their understanding of spatial relationships
- 80% of students believed that VR promoted their understanding of anatomical systems
- 24% increase in student perceived confidence when visualizing in 3D
- Even in a fully remote VR anatomy course, the academic outcomes were equal to students using a fully operational cadaver lab
Today, Perspectus provides virtual reality solutions to higher education, healthcare and commercial users.
