SenseGraphics has been contracted to develop and deliver a Sensegraphics Display Solution aimed at being displayed in a public exhibition. First test assembly of the setup was done today and here is how it all looked like…
Delivery of the system will take place in time for the “Grand Opening” in May… more information will follow!

We have recently seen loads of new 3D visualisation technologies hitting the market, more affordable and easier to use then ever! SenseGraphics has to put together a nice package that includes everything you will need to get your work started using SenseGraphics H3DAPI, SensAble haptics and real 3D stereo visualisation.
Featuring a 30-40 inch rear projected, high quality screen and a 120 Hz short throw projector together with active shutter glasses this is the ideal entry-level solution to real 3D stereo visualisation and haptics programming. With H3DAPI you will be able to feel what you see, interact in your 3D sceene, using the included SensAble Omni haptics device.
Please let us know if you’re interested in this solution by sending us an email: info@sensegraphics.com!
ImaGINe-S, Imaging Guided Interventional NedleSimulation, is a simulator for Ultrasonic guided needle punture procedures developed by researchers at Bangor Wales, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Imperial and Hull University.
Based on SenseGraphics H3DAPI and SenseGraphics Display, the simulator brings together a virtual patient, needle, sonic probe and image sonic data in a realistic environment for hands on simulation and training.
See the BBC Wales coverage with Professor Nigel John at the Bangor University to learn more!

SenseGraphics recently delivered a Large Immersive System with haptics device to the UT Dallas Center for Brainhealth. To learn more about how UT Dallas intend to use this system please check out this news drop on physics.org: http://www.physorg.com/news177325903.html

Dr Sarah Baillie from the Royal Veterinary College in London was recently announced as ”The most innovative teacher of the year” in the United Kingdom. Dr Sarah Baillie is very famous in the haptics community as the creator of the “Haptic cow” which allows vet students to learn to palpate training on a pregnant virtual cow. Dr Sarah Baillie has now taken this concept one step further and together with SenseGraphics HAPI created a new simulator called the Core Skills Trainer. The Core Skills Trainer is now being commercialised and will make it possible for students in; medicine, veterinary and dental educations to learn the core skills of palpation. To mention some of the benefits of the Core Skills trainer:

SenseGraphics partnered with the German company Schneider digital for the haptic conference in Magdeburg.
SenseGraphics is presenting the new SenseGraphics Display 300 series and some new medical simulation software from the Medaphor company in UK. Also featured in the SenseGraphics/Schneider booth is Viewsonic 3D enabled projector and the Planar 3 displays with haptics from SensAble.
Schneider with technical speciality in 3D graphics tested out the ATI FirePro V8700 card with H3DAPI 2.1 running using Planar display and Window XP 64 bit OS. Quadbuffered setting stereo(!) the standard demos in H3DAPI 2.1 (medx3d wih a segmented brain!!!) and it worked like a dream…
We will soon release a new version of H3DAPI with rigid body physics implemented using ODE and Physics. Below video from our Youtube channel shows a simple example on how it could work. Use any haptic device from Novint, SensAble, Moog, ForceDimension… or why not, your Wii control!
SenseGraphics will be presenting some new interesting features to H3DAPI during the WorldHaptics conference in Salt Lake City, US, March 18 to 20. We also hope to show some new interesting hardware products!
