“In the Israeli Air Force, it’s very profound that you need to learn from your mistakes, and then go back out there and try to get better, but you will make mistakes again. I think that’s very, very similar to the entrepreneur life.” — @EranOrr [0:06:41]

“Think about how many people worldwide don’t have access to health care. They’re not even close to a place where they can get quality care. Suddenly with this technology, anyone can get amazing care. Anyone, anywhere, anytime.” — @EranOrr [0:14:46]

“We as human beings, we need a holistic approach to get better. It’s not a single app, or a single exercise or a single device. You need to look at your recovery, or your process dealing with a chronic condition in a holistic way.” — @EranOrr [0:20:46]

Welcome back to Good Vibes with VIVE! Today’s topic is math education, and our guest has  a super compelling story to share. Anurupa Ganguly is the CEO and founder of Prisms of Reality, where she is reimagining math education using VR technology. According to various studies, the interest around careers in STEM is significantly low, and Anurupa attributes this to the lack of application and physical understanding embedded in our education system. She believes that the VR technology Prisms of Reality has created will bridge this gap. It is a mission-driven methodology, where students can learn the abstraction that is often missing in education. During this episode, she weighs in on why problem-based learning was not a feasible method for teachers, how the pandemic has highlighted the need for innovative technology in education, and why now is the best time to take radical steps in VR. She also shares the hands-on process that they have followed to equip teachers to introduce the VR headsets into their classrooms and which channels of support and training they are focusing on, before touching on the Sandbox they are building as a support tool for their existing technology. We hope you join us today to hear all this and more! 

 Key Points From This Episode:

• An introduction to today’s guest, Anurupa Ganguly.
• Some of the staggeringly low statistics around high schoolers’ interest in careers in STEM.
• What Anurupa observed as a math teacher and interacting with students within that space.
• Why it is necessary for a child to have a vision for how they will use the knowledge they gain.
• How Prisms of Reality provides real life scenarios to illustrate application to students.
• Why she describes the product as being mission-driven rather than game-driven.
• How they are working to teach children abstraction which is usually missing in education.
• Why problem-based learning was not a feasible method for teachers.
• How the pandemic has highlighted the need for technology in learning.
• Why now is the time to take the radical step towards VR: there is funding for it!
• Which channels of support and training they are focusing on with the buyer driving the value, district coordinator as leader and manager, and the end user being able to facilitate.
• What using the headsets looks like operationally and why you don’t need to use it everyday.
• What teachers have seen: that VR gets non-participating students to engage.
• Why Anurupa believes that VR is the most efficient way to teach core cognitive processes.
• Her ultimate vision for Prism: to become the best in class STEM learning program.
• Challenges and hopes for the future at Prism. 
• Why she believes that being an education company rather than a VR one will lead to success.

 “If a child feels that my only role is to get the answer, perform on the test, and then that’s the end of the road for what my contribution looks like and I don’t have a vision for what I’m going to do with this afterwards. That’s of course going to be the end of their road.” — @anurupagang

“We’re not game driven. We’re mission driven. It’s not a game that kids are playing, they’re solving a mission.” — @anurupaganguly [0:08:28]

Today’s surgeons must operate with outdated technologies under pressure, which requires a surgeon to constantly switch their focus in order to interpret static 2D information in a dynamic 3D space in high-stake environments that require precision and accurate live data.   

In this episode, Pearly Chen talks with Proprio CEO Gabriel Jones about the inspiration behind Proprio and how the company’s tech is leading the way towards a future of better surgical outcomes. Proprio is a surgical navigation company that superpowers surgeons by combining XR, computer vision, machine learning and robotics. 

Episode 04: Show Notes 

Today, we’ll cover how XR can transform medicine, specifically surgeries, by giving surgeons the superpower to see and work better for patients.  Tune in to hear how Proprio brings world class medical care to every human. 

Key Points From This Episode:  

• An introduction to Proprio and how the company enhances a surgeons’ abilities. 
• Proprio is tackling challenges in the operating rooms with new technological breakthroughs and creating new opportunities.  
• How Proprio is elevating surgeons so they can actually begin to think about new, innovative treatments and approaches in their work.  
• Surgeons have begun to grow accustomed to this technology and begin to adapt to this new operating way.  
• Proprio has brought joyness and delight to many doctors, which is rare in medicine.  
• Proprio is the only company to apply rendering techniques in the operating room and diminished the use of X-Rays, which subsequently put surgeons at risk for developing cancer.  
• Proprio gives surgeons more natural interfacing tools to enhance performance, it is also smarter, better, faster and cheaper so  medical operations are as simple and effective as possible.   
• Gabriel closes with his personal motives behind building a company to address problems in the surgery industry.  

Tweetables: 

“This is similar to the concept of calm design that I think Proprio is really at the forefront of, which is technology at its best where it's designed really, really well and very thoughtfully implemented should just melt away.” - @aGabrielJones [0:09:18] 

“Overall, we think technology can help bring the physician back to the direct interaction through technology with the patient. I think that should be our overarching goal, not just to implement technology for the sake of selling a product or launching something that's really cool.” - @aGabrielJones [0:10:42] 

“So if we could reduce the need for surgeries like that and not be over-focused on driving more surgery, that's not the goal. The goal is perfection. If you're going to do surgery, get it as close to perfection as you possibly can. I think the data and computation is really one of the best ways to, over time, achieve a little bit more of that perfection.” - @aGabrielJones [0:25:08]

Tweetables:

 “The resume system is not fit for purpose anymore. The jobs underneath us are moving too quickly to use a backwards looking lens of multiple years to prove that we’re the right fit for this opportunity right in front of us.” — @kjplanet [0:06:58]

“The idea is, if we can actually prove that people have skills by their participation in this content, then maybe that becomes the new resume.” — @kjplanet [0:07:45]

“We all are way more complex than our resume reads and some of that complexity is exactly what companies need, and exactly what projects need, but it never would come through on a resume.” — @kjplanet [0:07:57]

“When we’re thinking of the skills mobility problem, it’s not an isolated problem only for young people. It’s something that’s going to affect everyone that’s in the workforce.” — @kjplanet [0:16:10]
