With MOOG’s kind invitation, SenseGraphics had the privilege to attend the World Haptics Conference (WHC) June 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey. The event (June 21-24) was held in the Harbiye Military Museum, where many industry players from the haptic sphere gathered for 4 days.

The Simodont Dental Trainer was the highlight at MOOG’s exhibition booth. This high fidelity simulator, with its haptics and 3D visual functionalities provided by SenseGraphics development team, allows future dentists to be trained in operative dental procedures under realistic dedicated virtual environment. The Simodont Dental Trainer was successfully developed in 2010, and 50 units are currently under operation in the Academic Centre for Dentistry (ACTA), Amsterdam.

Since our first collaboration in 2006, SenseGraphics is glad to share a pleasant and lasting relationship with MOOG. Today, we continue to work closely with the MOOG’s team of engineering experts in the medical simulation field in delivering high quality medical training solutions.

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.
