About

InSight Platform®

Explore the human body with augmented reality and tactile feedback. This app allows students to visualize anatomical structures at a microscopic level and interact with real-time simulations. Educators can also control scenarios to enhance learning experiences.

Highlights
  • Augmented reality anatomy exploration
  • Microscopic level visualization
  • Real-time simulation interaction
  • Educator-controlled scenarios
  • Vitals and patient attribute changes
  • Tactile and visual feedback
Read full description

The InSight Platform® is a comprehensive simulation technology that uses augmented reality (AR) layered with tactile and visual feedback to enable students to connect concepts to practice and develop critical decision-making skills. The InSight Platform’s mobile application allows students, educators, and administrators to add to their experience using two distinct feature sets: 1) InSight Lens allows students to explore the human body on their own personal device and observe critical anatomical structures such as the heart, lungs, and brain at a microscopic level. Students can also connect the InSight Lens to the InSight Platform®, enabling them to follow along with scenarios that are being run in the simulation lab on their individual devices. They can observe change in vitals, the effect of physical interactions, as well as other visual feedback in real-time using the app. 2) The Smart Controller, which is more educator-facing, can be used to add variability to scenarios on the fly by changing vitals, patient attributes, moulage, and a range of other features. The controller runs in sync with the InSight Platform® and provides the flexibility for educators and administrators to drive scenario changes from their own devices. Any user who has an account with the InSight Platform® automatically has access to the mobile application which is a powerful learning tool for gaining a greater visual understanding of the pathologies of the body. Reach out to contact@lumiscorp.com if you have questions about gaining access to the mobile application or acquiring the InSight Platform® for your program.

To be able to use the application correctly, users must also access the AugmentedScience e-book (PDF). The application works by scanning the markers included in these PDF files. When the camera is pointed at the relevant marker, the corresponding augmented reality content will automatically open in the app. No additional button needs to be pressed. Please make sure that the PDF is either opened on another device or printed, and that the marker is clearly visible and sufficiently large for accurate scanning. You can download the AugmentedScience e-books in different languages from the links below: English (ENG): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HP0fKV1vskchAej-RabZa5098uVeDkfV/view?usp=drive_link Turkish (TR): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ycvgPK8G61GDciPS0pFao6INw4dQTnrl/view?usp=drive_link Polish (PL): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NWVcE8xtuUPj3FhsQpOz29zyju49L5MH/view?usp=drive_link Finnish (FN): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d49LrddonTcvtuzXffnFRcu9DV6y7uI4/view?usp=drive_link Greek (GR): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBFL9RgopOFnMu1NyGDQ9f0zyDneH4rw/view?usp=drive_link If you experience any issues, please let us know which platform you are using (iOS/Android) and confirm that the marker is being scanned from the correct e-book.
