About Us
Our Niche
PersonaXR is revolutionizing medical training with breakthrough technologies that go far beyond traditional VR simulations:
- 👀 Augmented Reality First: Unlike VR-only competitors, we are focused on AR-native experiences that blend digital patients into real clinical environments where students actually practice.
- 💬 Next-Gen AI Conversations: While traditional simulations rely on rigid scripts, our LLM-powered speech engine enables natural, unpredictable patient responses that adapt fluidly to each student’s unique clinical reasoning.
- 📸 Photorealistic Environments: We are leveraging 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS): a breakthrough rendering technique delivering high fidelity visuals at a fraction of traditional computational costs—creating authentic clinic replicas that immerse students in their ideal study environment.
Our Team
We’re an interdisciplinary team of innovators from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, bringing together medical students from the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and computer science students from the UW School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences.
