Description
The purpose of this SBIR topic is to improve upon haptics devices and integrate them with synthetic (virtual/augmented/mixed reality, or xR) training environments to train hands-on medical procedures to novice trainees with limited medical experience. This will provide medical trainees realistic and anatomically accurate tactile feedback from xR haptic devices, improving training value by building muscle memory and self-efficacy.
