Boulder Innovation Group, Inc. (BIG) is a Colorado corporation and a manufacturer and developer of Image-guided surgical navigation digitizers and industrial 3D capture and modeling equipment. With our roots in Image Guidance developed by Image Guided Technologies, Inc. (“IGT”) we also service digitizers of all previous IGT equipment owners.We also offer a wide range of image guided instrumentation and related equipment as well as partnerships with customers for specific image-guided and 3D modeling applications.

Our systems are used for precise, free-hand, real-time localization of a point in three dimensional (3D) space. These systems are essential components of the sophisticated navigation systems used by surgeons to effectively perform Image-Guided Surgery, a specialty procedure in the rapidly growing field of Minimally Invasive Surgery. In the Industrial field, these products are valuable measurement systems and image capture used by engineers, designers and manufacturing/ quality workers for reverse engineering, inspection of complex parts and process control.

The FlashPoint, for medical applications, and the 3D Creator, for industrial, is an integrated system consisting of a number of Infrared optical markers (light emitting diodes (LED)) mounted on a pointer device or surgical instrument, a reference frame connected to the measured object (a patient in a medical application or a part in a commercial application), a multi-camera array for detecting X, Y and Z locations of the LED emitters, a proprietary microprocessor based control system, and a proprietary software package. The FlashPoint/3D Creator product is an input subsystem providing real-time mathematical coordinates to a host computer. A number of novel probes and surgical instruments are a part of the FlashPoint/3D Creator system as well as several special system accessories for interfacing with end users’ operating environment.
