How AR Glasses Are Reshaping Prosthetic Limb Fitting
from Augmented Reality with Fexingo: AR, Glasses, and the Spatial Computing Future Hosted by Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how augmented reality glasses are transforming the process of fitting prosthetic limbs. They focus on a pilot program at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where occupational therapists use AR overlays to map residual limb topography, simulate socket pressure points, and adjust fit in real time — cutting fitting sessions from an average of six appointments down to two. The hosts discuss the specific technology: Microsoft HoloLens 2 running a custom app called SocketSense, developed in partnership with MIT Media Lab. They also touch on the broader implications for veteran care and civilian prosthetics clinics. A concrete look at a technology reducing both physical discomfort and logistical burden for amputees. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #Prosthetics #ProstheticLimbFitting #WalterReed #SocketSense #HoloLens2 #MITMediaLab #OccupationalTherapy #VeteranCare #Amputee #MedicalTech #HealthcareInnovation #ResidualLimb #3DScanning #PressureMapping #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
