The company’s CTO, Håvard Snarby, is passionate about both technology and education. During his studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, he conducted research into learning outcomes when using VR. The results of the research showed that clinical students are more engaged and had better recall after training on VR than in traditional simulation on a medical dummy. Teaming up with his sister Siva Snarby, whose expertise lies in economics and financial management, the two founded CTD to help prepare health-care providers for real-life clinical events.
While the tool started on Oculus, CTD has since transitioned it to the Unity XR platform in order to deploy the training to a broader range of headsets. The idea is to minimize any complexity or need for technical know-how so that any student can simply put on a wireless VR headset and start training.
