“The ability to touch and interact naturally with virtual environments is transforming the way industries train workers and bring products to market,” added Jake Rubin, Founder and CEO of HaptX. Using the force feedback generated by the exoskeleton (up to 4 lbs of resistance per finger) the user is actually able to feel the boney growth surrounding the rim of the hip socket, allowing them to better locate key ligaments. The user can be seen carefully performing the operation using a HaptX glove to manipulate the patients tissue with detailed precision.

Each HaptX glove features 130 tactile actuators and advanced motion-tracking technology that captures movement with sub-millimeter precision, making it the perfect addition to Fundamental’s equally detailed experiences, Using what the company calls a Surgical Haptic Intelligence Engine, the platform is able to replicate the feel of standard surgical tools and tissue variants with submillimeter accuracy.

Referred to as a ‘flight simulator’ for both trainees and professional surgeons, the Fundamental Surgery platform immerses users in a hyper-realistic medical environment in which they experience the exact same visuals, audio, and emotions they would during an actual surgery. In a demonstration conducted during the annual general meeting of the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), Fundamental Surgery–developers of a low-cost surgery simulation platform–showcased their FundamentalVR experience working in conjunction with HaptX’s haptic glove, delivering an unparalleled level of detail to the developers surgical education experience. Whether it be remote telerobotics with real-time interactivity, or realistic touch in car design, it seems as though the advanced haptic glove is finding a home in just about every field, including healthcare. HaptX VR gloves bring a new level of detail to FundamentalVR’s ‘surgeon simulator.’
