Better Training, Wider Reach: Fin-Ceramica’s Hybrid Course in Action

During a 3-day skull base dissection course at ICLO Cadaver Lab in Italy, Fin-Ceramica used Rods&Cones to create a smarter, more connected training environment. A master trainer performed procedures while wearing smartglasses and using a microscope with all visuals broadcast to five workstations, giving every participant clear, real-time visibility. At the same time, the course was streamed via webinOR to Fin-Ceramica’s internal teams across Europe, showcasing the full potential of the platform.

Challenges

During the training, one of the main challenges was ensuring that all five trainee stations had a clear view of the master trainer’s demonstration, especially when using a microscope. Coordinating this complex, multi-angle setup in real time required careful planning.

Additionally, the team wanted to showcase the training session remotely to internal stakeholders, highlighting the effectiveness of their setup without compromising quality or interaction.

Solutions

Using Rods&Cones, live video feeds from the trainer were streamed to five lab stations, giving each participant a clear, real-time view.

The setup included visOR, mirrOR, and panOR, providing multiple angles of the training. Remote participants also joined the lecture sessions online, allowing global teams to follow the course and interact without being physically present.

Results

All trainees had a clear, real-time view of the dissection, whether in the room or joining remotely. The training reached 100% visibility across stations without overcrowding or losing interaction.

Key outcomes:
100% of trainees had front-row visibility.
Clear, high-quality microscope view on 3 large monitors.
Remote staff followed the session live from other locations.
Smooth coordination of multiple feeds across the lab.
