, “(Seoul=News1) Reporter Yoon Ju-young = Laonsecure (042510) subsidiary Laonmeta announced on the 14th that its autopsy practice content received the grand prize at ‘2024 Mustard Seed Field Center Demo Day 4’. The event was hosted by the school corporation Catholic Academy and Catholic Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital-affiliated Mustard Seed Field Center, an information technology (IT) competition with 47 teams participating.”,
,
, “Laonmeta participated in the event with a team led by Dr. Cho Hyun-moo from Ewha Womans University Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, presenting autopsy practice content based on metaverse. The content was highly evaluated for its technological completeness and commercialization potential.”,
,
, ‘Users can practice autopsies in virtual reality without the need to kill actual animals. They can learn the entire process from autopsy preparation to carcass disposal using virtual experimental rats (Roett). Actual autopsy videos are provided as guides, and self-assessment is possible after repeated practices.’,
,
, ‘Prior to this, Laonmeta jointly developed the solution after signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for cooperative performance of medical professional practice content with Ewha Womans University Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital. Laonmeta supplied metaverse and Extended Reality (XR) technology, while Ewha Womans University Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital provided curriculum design, infrastructure, and advice.’,
,
, ‘By reducing the severe pain and unnecessary sacrifice experienced by nearly 5 million experimental animals annually, it is expected that ethical issues in animal experiments can be alleviated. Furthermore, it is anticipated that some of the problems related to disposal costs and environmental pollution can be addressed.’,
,
, “Laonmeta is in discussions with public institutions, medical facilities, educational institutions, and others regarding content collaboration after officially launching the autopsy practice content on its metaverse practice platform ‘Metademy’. They have also completed patent applications in Korea and the United States.\n”]
