FundamentalVR launches virtual surgery trainer with tactile feedback
FundamentalVR is launching a virtual reality surgery training platform using haptics and physical feedback to create a tactile, flight simulator-like experience for surgeons.
The software platform, Fundamental Surgery, aims to recreate the real-life sensations of using several different medical tools with tissue, muscle and bone in a variety of procedures. Using off-the-shelf hardware, the London-based company aims to make its hands-on system available for less than the cost of a single surgical training cadaver.
