Built for the operating theater

Democratizing the path to robotic surgery mastery.

ERMIS VR is a high-fidelity digital twin of the robotic surgical console — engineered to take a surgeon from console-curious to console-confident, and to keep practicing robotic surgeons sharp between cases. Up to 30% faster than traditional training pathways.

Mission

Two surgeons. One platform.
Built to keep every robotic case sharper.

ERMIS VR removes the geographic, scheduling, and console-availability barriers that have historically gated who gets to become a robotic surgeon — and how often practicing surgeons can rehearse.

For the surgeon becoming a robotic surgeon.

The pathway to robotic competence has been bottlenecked by limited console access, mentor availability, and case volume. ERMIS VR collapses that bottleneck.

  • Practice anywhere — VR headset only, no operating room required.
  • Repeatable, structured curriculum that mirrors the robotic console experience.
  • Objective performance scoring across every attempt.
  • Confidence built before the surgeon ever touches a live case.

For the robotic surgeon staying at the top.

Muscle memory decays between cases. Rare procedures stay rare. ERMIS VR turns downtime into deliberate practice — and helps keep error rates where they belong.

  • Maintain console fluency between operative days.
  • Rehearse low-volume procedures before they appear on the schedule.
  • Onboard new procedures and approaches without case-time risk.
  • Quantified feedback to track skill maintenance over time.

A robotic surgeon should never be limited by where, when, or how often they can practice. ERMIS VR makes mastery portable.

— The democratization principle
The platform

A high-fidelity digital twin — engineered for clinical realism.

Built by ORamaVR and powered by a proprietary Geometric Algebra physics engine, ERMIS VR delivers console-grade fidelity on consumer-grade hardware.

01

Digital twin of the robotic surgical console.

The ergonomics, the controls, the visual field — replicated with the precision required to build genuine transfer of skill from VR to the operating room.

02

Geometric Algebra physics engine.

03

Objective performance analytics.

Every session generates measurable data: time, precision, economy of motion. Progress is visible — to the surgeon and to the program director.

04

No regulatory barrier to adoption.

ERMIS VR is a skills-training tool with no influence on live clinical decisions or cases — simplifying institutional onboarding.

05

Engineered for transfer of skill.

ERMIS VR is a clinical training instrument, not a game. Every module, every metric, and every interaction is built to produce skill that carries from the headset to the console to the operating room.

In practice

From the floor of live training workshops.

ERMIS VR is already in the headsets of surgeons training across multiple European markets. The headset goes on, the curriculum loads, the practice begins — no console, no cart, no case room required.

In their words

What surgeons say after the headset comes off.

Before using the platform, I wasn't interested in becoming a surgeon — my experience with laparoscopic surgery was difficult. After using ERMIS VR, I now know robotic surgery is what I want to do with my medical education.

The logic of the movements is very close to the mindset used on the robot — practically identical movements. Ease of use, plug and play; it doesn't require significant familiarization, and it offers training with significantly smaller hardware.
