Sentiar Inc. received U.S. FDA clearance for its holographic guidance system, known as Commandep, for use in cardiac ablation procedures. The system allows electrophysiologists (EPs) to visualize 3D electroanatomic models in real-time, using augmented reality (AR), to seamlessly navigate invasive procedures. “The Commandep is intended for use as a medical imaging system that allows the review, analysis, communication and media interchange of multidimensional digital images,” Berk Tas, Sentiar’s CEO, told BioWorld.

Irvine, Calif.-based startup Ocutrx Vision Technologies LLC unveiled new technology that it said helps surgeons better visualize the operative field during surgical procedures. The OR-Bot Surgery Visualization Theatre combines augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and both human- and robot-controlled arms to facilitate exacting medical procedures without the need for physicians to look away from the patient.

The U.S. FDA has granted breakthrough device designation to Mojo Vision Inc. for its first-of-a-kind true smart contact lens. The Mojo Lens, which features “invisible computing” and a built-in display, enables people to get timely information without having to look away from what they are doing or glance at a screen.
