About Us

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.

Support

This project is supported by the UW-Madison Tech Exploration Lab.

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 pioneer 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 leverage 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS): a breakthrough rendering technique delivering cinema-quality visuals at a fraction of traditional computational costs—creating authentic clinic replicas that immerse students in their ideal study environment.
