fundamental XR

fundamental XR is an immersive technology company developing surgical simulation and clinical training software. Founded in 2015, it combines extended reality with kinesthetic haptic feedback to help clinicians rehearse procedures and develop practical skills. Its work spans ophthalmology, orthopedics, urology, surgical robotics and endovascular procedures, serving healthcare institutions, medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical organizations.

The company's central offering is Fundamental Surgery, a hardware-agnostic software-as-a-service platform that brings together procedural simulation, remote collaboration and performance assessment. Training environments combine detailed anatomical models with simulated instruments and physical feedback, allowing users to practise actions involving tissue resistance, drilling and needle placement. These environments support procedural learning and the introduction of medical devices and treatment techniques.

Training across devices and settings

The platform supports several complementary approaches. HapticVR provides procedural simulations using robotic arms and haptic devices. StandaloneVR and @HomeVR offer portable, cloud-connected rehearsal on commercially available headsets. CollaborationVR connects learners, clinical teams and mentors in shared virtual operating rooms, enabling instruction and collaboration across geographic distances.

Alongside its platform, the company develops custom simulations for MedTech and pharmaceutical clients. Its services include curriculum design, procedural walkthroughs, hands-on rehearsal environments and implementation support for hospitals and academic institutions. It also creates virtual demonstration and sales environments for medical technology businesses. Analytics integration supports assessment of skill retention, procedural errors and compliance within learning management systems.

From surgical simulation to broader applications

The company adopted the name fundamental XR in July 2025, following its earlier operation as FundamentalVR. The rebrand reflected its work across virtual, mixed and augmented reality. Its subsequent Fundamental Touch platform extends wireless kinesthetic feedback into applications including robotics, aerospace, automotive and industrial maintenance.

With operations in the United Kingdom and United States, fundamental XR combines simulation development with clinical and commercial partnerships. Its work includes robotic surgery education, ophthalmic training, gene therapy delivery rehearsal and portable cataract surgery simulation for international healthcare programmes.
