FundamentalVR and Haply Robotics Partnership
FundamentalVR has partnered with Haply Robotics to transform traditional surgical training methods through advanced virtual reality (VR) and haptic technology.
Haply Robotics develops highly portable, powerful, and affordable haptic controllers, including its flagship Inverse3 device. Through this collaboration, FundamentalVR aims to expand its training solutions for medical procedures requiring high-fidelity interaction and realistic touch feedback.
Advancing Medical Training with Haptic Technology
FundamentalVR’s goal is to improve surgical education by combining immersive VR environments with realistic force feedback.
The partnership supports the development of advanced medical simulation experiences that help healthcare professionals practice complex procedures in a safe and controlled virtual environment.
Fundamental Surgery and HapticVR Technology
FundamentalVR’s HapticVR technology enables collaborative clinical training by simulating realistic surgical sensations.
The platform recreates physical interactions involved in surgical procedures, including:
Bone texture and resistance
Muscle interaction
Soft tissue sensations
Realistic surgical movements
This technology helps improve training outcomes, enhance surgical skills, and reduce risks associated with complex procedures.
Haply Robotics’ Role
Haply Robotics provides advanced haptic controllers that enhance FundamentalVR’s virtual environments by adding realistic force feedback and touch sensations.
According to Colin Gallacher, President and Co-founder of Haply Robotics, the company’s haptic devices strengthen FundamentalVR’s medical training scenarios by delivering a more immersive and realistic simulation experience.
Transforming the Future of Surgical Education
By combining Haply Robotics’ precision haptic technology with FundamentalVR’s VR surgical simulation platform, this partnership aims to create more effective training solutions for healthcare professionals and improve the adoption of medical technologies.
