Come out to the Venture Cafe and be one of the first to try the VR ONE (http://zeissvrone.tumblr.com) head mounted display from ZEISS! The VR ONE features Leading-edge optical design and ZEISS precision lenses for the ultimate immersive visual experience. Removable trays allow you to install an iPhone 6 or Galaxy S5 and the semi-transparent cover allows your phone's camera to enable augmented reality applications.



VR has huge potential in medicine and Boston VR is very excited to be a part of the MedStart Innovation Challenge (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://tuftsmedstart.com/) and this will be your invitation to join in as well!

MedStart Invitation



Dear VR Innovators,



We invite you to be a part of the MedStart Innovation Challenge (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://tuftsmedstart.com/). Born out of the MD/MBA program at Tufts School of Medicine, the premise of MedStart is that there is a great demand for innovation in medical education at all levels from UGME to CME, but too often important stakeholders are left out of the process because of the barriers to resources and capacity. One weekend each year (Jan 29 - Feb 1st, 2015), we bring key stakeholders across the healthcare, technology and business spectrum to team-up, break down silos and solve important problems. We also bring together resources (hardware and open software from Myo (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://bit.ly/NUJgaY), Oculus Rift (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://bit.ly/1lqOoyk), Leap Motion (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://bit.ly/1juH45f), ReelDx.com (http://t.signalecinque.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XX43MP9ggW64ztM22BWf1RW1qg0VH56dWW-f4Tlzbx02?si=4638851012755456&pi=818D43EB-7D00-4206-AF31-BC4BB7CBFF9D&t=http://ReelDx.com), athenahealth's EHR, Osmosis's testing data sets, and much more!), mentorship in all disciplines, fascinating talks, prizes, and lots of food/snacks.
