George Polchin

A proven engineer who can create new technology, Polchin “likes to get my hands dirty,” and has worked at startups for 12 years after a long career in Fortune 500 companies including Walt Disney Feature Animation, a company later bought by Autodesk, and Raytheon, among others.

With a background in electrical engineering, Polchin is experienced in C++ software development, digital visualization, graphics, and color.

His name is on a NASA Mars satellite (“george polchin themis mars odyssey”), three major Hollywood animated films (“george polchin imdb”), and several US patents (“10,299,880”, “9,552,660”, “8,257,157”, “5,726,450” )

At TDS predecessor company TrueVision Systems, Polchin introduced high dynamic range imaging (HDR) to surgical microscopy in a stereoscopic 3D HDR camera which is now in over 1200 clinics and hospitals. This add-on surgical camera drove the market toward digitizing the surgical microscope and transforming the operating room into “heads-up” surgery, enabling integrated surgical teams and better patient outcomes.
