First test assembly of the setup was done today and here is how it all looked like…

Haptics to the public audience!

Delivery of the system will take place in time for the “Grand Opening” in May… more information will follow!

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.

Backprojected H3DAPI

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.

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:

  • students are able to practice the basic skills needed to diagnose/examine using the hands.
  • skills progress is displayed.
  • possible to practice repeatedly and in own time.
  • opportunity to practice repeatedly before approaching patients.
  • built-in tutorials means no instructor is needed.
  • appealing game learning environment.
  • small work area foot print.
  • delivered as a total solution, everything is needed to get started with Core Skills training!

To learn more about this software do not hesitate to send coreskillstrainer(at)rvc.ac.uk an email!

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…

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!
