Sunday, August 30th, 2009

The brand new Virtual Dental Simulator called Simodont,  from MOOG in the Netherlands, was presented to the public during the 35th annual meeting of the Association for Dental Education in Europe (ADEE).

SenseGraphics has been an important partner in developing the new Dental Simulator providing both software and consultancy work to MOOG. The Simodont is a unique product developed for the dental simulation market. The Simodont includes new haptics hardware that is co-located with real 3D stereo graphics allowing for real life training on virtual patients with hands-on drilling exercises and monitoring of dental mirror. 

ACTA, the dental educator in the Netherlands, has funded the development of the simulator and also ordered a number of installation.
