Medical Devices
IRIS XR's collaborative AR platform shatters geographical barriers, empowering medical device companies to deliver next-generation training not just to surgeons, but to the entire OR staff, anytime, anywhere.
Effortless Learning: Ditch travel and expensive training simulations. Surgeons and staff can access interactive AR modules on any device – phone, tablet, or AR/VR glasses – simplifying learning and maximizing accessibility.
Immersive Collaboration: Walk your clients through complex procedures using AR replicating real-world scenarios. No more scheduling conflicts or travel delays.
Empowered Teams: IRIS XR fosters instant collaboration between surgeons, nurses, and technicians, ensuring everyone is on the same page for optimal outcomes.
Faster Sales Cycles: Put powerful training directly in the hands of your potential customers. Reduced training burdens lead to faster adoption of your medical devices.The result? Improved patient outcomes and a stronger, more confident OR team.
Hospitals
Break down barriers in healthcare training with IRIS XR Platform! This cutting-edge AR technology empowers healthcare professionals to collaborate seamlessly, either in person or remotely. Surgeons and OR staff can now engage in highly realistic training simulations replicating real-world procedures, regardless of location or device. These immersive experiences enhance competence, build confidence, and refine skills, leading to fewer errors, improved decision-making, and stronger teamwork. Ultimately, IRIS XR fosters a collaborative learning environment for better patient outcomes and improved hospital performance.

IRIS XR News
Northwell LIJ Valley Stream Hospital is participating in a pilot program for a new technology called IRIS XR.
IRIS XR is a collaborative augmented reality platform that will be used to simulate training for medical procedures chosen by the hospital staff. This innovative system allows surgeons, nurses, and other OR staff to participate in real-time training together, regardless of location. Participants can be physically present in the operating room or join remotely using their phones, tablets, or even special glasses. This pilot program has the potential to revolutionize medical training by providing a more immersive and collaborative learning experience.
ABOUT OUR CEO
Nicholas Rafkind
Nick Rafkind's career began at 21st Century Fox in sales development, where he spent 12 years, eventually leading digital ad sales teams. During this time, a passion for emerging technologies ignited, and augmented reality (AR) captured his interest.
After Fox, he transitioned to consulting for five (AR/VR) companies, leveraging his expertise in sales, marketing, and management. Notably, two of these companies were acquired by Snapchat, and a third one appointed him as their founding president. He steered this company to success until its acquisition by the Beijing Culture Fund.
Through these experiences, he identified a key limitation in the augmented reality (AR) market: an overemphasis on individual experiences limited to specific devices. This insight sparked the creation of IRIS, a real-time, collaborative AR software. Designed with accessibility in mind, IRIS, alongside his technological architect and co-founder Steve Lukas, allows users to experience AR together across any device.
