## What is Cinematic Reality?

With Cinematic Reality you can explore the capabilities of the visualization of medical volume data on Apple Vision Pro. Navigate simply with your eyes and hands through basic planar and volumetric visualizations, while having all this blended with your physical space.


Switching to Cinematic Rendering in the immersive space shows you the full potential of Apple Vision Pro’s spatial computing platform and Siemens Healthineers visualization algorithms.



Cinematic Rendering is a novel physically based volume rendering method which computes in real-time photorealistic 3D renderings of medical data.



Cinematic Rendering builds on an advanced rendering pipeline supporting a significantly more complex illumination model, which integrates numerous light- scattering, absorption, and shadowing effects that are important for visual perception in the everyday environment making the images very realistic.



Cinematically rendered CT images allowed clinicians to understand patient anatomy more quickly and with a greater degree of accuracy than conventional CT, according to an article recently published online in JAMA Surgery [1].



Combining these images with spatial computing, means adding another dimension to the understanding of complex anatomical information and new ways to interact.




Cinematic Reality for Apple Vision Pro is not for clinical use or treatment of patients.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2024-03-17*

Truly an impressive way of visualizing these kinds of scans. It would be an even more impressive app if you could import scans.

### 5/5 — Amazing AR VR app

*2024-03-12*

This is what future of medical imaging looks like!  Able to see 2 views at once, with rotation and density.   Offers ability to revolve, different layers like muscle, bone.  Views are amazing!

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2024-03-11*

Wish we can import our own to scans
