Enhancing MadVR's Surgical Training Simulation with TouchDIVER haptic glove
MadVR has adopted TouchDIVER to enhance their VR surgical training solutions. By integrating advanced haptic feedback, TouchDIVER elevates the realism of simulations, offering surgeons immersive learning experiences that closely mimic real-life procedures.
Case Study
01
Goals
By integrating TouchDIVER, MadVR aims to demonstrate the potential of force feedback, tactile sensations, and temperature variations in creating immersive learning experiences for surgeons. This demo served to validate that haptic-enhanced VR can provide a more accurate and impactful alternative to traditional training methods.
02
TouchDIVER adoption
TouchDIVER was chosen for its precise haptic feedback, VR compatibility, and ability to replicate detailed tactile interactions. Its cost-effectiveness, Unity-ready middleware, intuitive interface, and responsive support made it ideal for creating realistic, immersive, and user-friendly VR surgical training modules.
Advantages of using haptics in virtual experiences
“Haptic technology has transformative potential in the field of surgical training and simulation, including:
- Enhanced Surgical Realism: Providing surgeons with tactile feedback that mimics real-world interactions with tissues, bones, and surgical tools.
- Mistake-Based Learning: Allowing surgeons to feel the consequences of errors, such as excessive force, and learn corrective techniques.
- Skill Assessment: Using haptic feedback to evaluate a surgeon’s precision and control during procedures.”
