“Jon and the team at Arch Virtual represent a unique group of thought leaders within the simulation, multi-media paradigm. Many companies have jumped into the XR space, but few understand it’s potential and embrace it with the expertise that Arch Virtual has to offer…I have been fortunate to work on several projects with Arch Virtual including the Award winning Best-in-Show VR Airway management training module at the International Meeting (IMSH) (link), as well as projects for Envision Experience (link).
Dr. Bauman also had the following to say about joining Arch Virtual and helping grow the Acadicus VR training platform:
