Case Study

From Concept to Clinic: How Augmented Reality Innovation Empowered Patients in Plastic Surgery Consultations

Project
Illusio Imaging
Platforms
iOS (iPad)
Technologies
Unity, AWS, Node.js, Express, PlayFab

Project Overview

Illusio Imaging sought to redefine plastic surgery consultations by enabling patients to visualize potential surgical outcomes in real-time using augmented reality (AR). The iOS app, developed as an MVP (Minimum Viable Product), would scan a patient’s torso and leverage AR technology to showcase the potential results of procedures like breast enhancement, fostering informed decision-making.

Key Features

  • Advanced Mesh Processing : AWS expertly handled intricate 3D mesh operations, ensuring accurate and realistic AR visualizations within the MVP scope.
  • Seamless AR Integration : Unity asset packages facilitated the smooth integration of server-generated assets into the app.
  • Scalable Architecture : The server’s ability to manage heavy processing workloads guaranteed a seamless and responsive user experience on the iPad, even with the MVP’s initial feature set.
  • Secure Operation : Robust security measures safeguarded patient data and app functionality across all platforms.
  • Easy-to-Use Interface : The app’s intuitive interface allowed surgeons to efficiently and precisely demonstrate potential surgery outcomes to their patients.

The Solution

  • Advanced Mesh Processing on AWS : We leveraged the power of AWS to handle complex 3D mesh operations, ensuring accurate and realistic AR visualizations, even on the iPad.
  • Seamless Unity Integration : We implemented Unity asset packages to facilitate the smooth integration of server-generated assets into the app, creating a dynamic and responsive user experience.
  • Scalable customer-Server Architecture : By offloading computationally intensive tasks to a high-performance AWS server, we ensured a seamless and responsive user experience on the iPad, even within the MVP’s initial feature set.

The Results

  • Accurate, Real-Time Visualizations : The app successfully generated precise, real-time AR visualizations on the iPad, empowering patients to make confident and well-informed decisions about their plastic surgery options.
  • Secure and Functional App : We delivered a secure and fully functional AR app that met core client goals and laid a strong foundation for future development
  • Positive User Experience : The app’s intuitive interface and smooth performance contributed to a positive user experience for both cosmetic surgeons and patients

The Challenge

  • Mesh Scanning Limitations : The iPad’s processing capabilities struggled to handle the intricate 3D scans required for accurate AR visualizations.
  • Secure Integration : Establishing a secure connection between the iPad, Unity, and the server while enabling dynamic updates posed a significant challenge.
  • Performance Bottlenecks : The iPad’s hardware couldn’t keep up with the demanding real-time AR processing, leading to performance issues.
