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:
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!

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…
Our friends from Quanser captured SenseGraphics at the Miccai conference in a video and put it up on youtube recently.
Another interesting video from Miccai features the Inition (another SenseGraphics friend) company booth. Inition is specialised in all sorts of 3D visualisation gears. In the video below (after 1 minute) you will find a haptics Botox concept simulator that actually was put togteher using SenseGraphics H3DAPI and development services from our company.
SenseGraphics technology will be presented by the Proviz project at the Swedish embassy in Tokyo, Japan, September 20. PhD Stina Svensson will show some of the work done in the Proviz project which includes 3D visualization and manipulation of Proteins…
It has been a very well-organized conference cum exhibition that we’re having here at MICCAI’09 in London. Warm weather, good food, nice services and lots of prospective customers.
“It’s a very well organized conference. We’ve met a lot of interested customers as well as researchers. It seems that we have come to the right place to find potential customers. I believe we have made a couple of long-term sales just by today” – Johan M. Beskow (Sales Executive) on his first day of exhibition.
A lot of guests have shown great interests in our new SGD3 system. Although it’s just released less than 1 week ago, people have already started asking for quotation from us. That is enough to keep us heavily busy the next couple of weeks right after the exhibition.

SenseGraphics is currently at the MICCAI conference in London showing their newly developed SenseGraphics Display SGD3. This seams to be the first 120 HZ LCD based Immersive Workbench available on the market.
Think about adding dual haptics with gripping interface to this setup and voila you will have the perfect environment to develop a robotic medical simulator for your own Da Vinci robotics.
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.
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!
Eurographics just announced the winners of the MEDPrize 2009. SenseGraphics congratulates our partner behind the ImaGINe-S project who took the second price in the category!
