General information
- Short Summary
- UK-based SME specializing in VR training for biomedical science seeks a partner with expertise in haptic glove technology. The goal is to integrate touch-based feedback into immersive simulations for animal handling and injection procedures.
- Full Description
-
The UK (Cardiff) based SME specialises in developing Virtual Reality VR) training simulations for biomedical and animal science education. Their VR platform offers training in a number of biomedical science procedures, including electrophysiology, pharmacology and wider neuroscience practices. They have developed a series of VR modules for mouse handling, injection techniques, and ethical euthanasia that are currently in use by universities and research institutions.
To further increase the realism and effectiveness of their training simulations, they are seeking an international partner with expertise in haptic glove technology. The desired outcome is to create a seamless integration of tactile feedback into existing modules, allowing users to feel and interact with a virtual mouse realistically.
They are open to technology collaboration, co-development, and joint research opportunities to produce a cutting-edge training experience for lab science education. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
Seeking a partner with proven expertise in:
• Development and refinement of haptic glove technologies
• Integration of hardware with Unity or Unreal Engine-based VR environments
• Real-time tactile feedback synchronised with hand and finger motion
• Comfort and usability for extended training sessions
Experience working in education, simulation, or medical training is preferred. - Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 4: Quality Education
- Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being
Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
- The partner should provide technical expertise in haptic feedback and hardware integration, and work collaboratively to develop a plug-and-play haptic solution that complements their immersive VR training modules. Ideally, they would assist in product testing, iteration, and optimisation for training applications in animal science.
