A partnership covered by MassDevice
MassDevice’s Sean Whooley reported that FundamentalVR partnered with Haply Robotics to transform traditional surgical training methods through virtual reality (VR). The article notes that Haply Robotics develops highly portable, performant, and affordable haptic controllers — including the flagship Inverse3 — and that Boston-based FundamentalVR aims for the partnership to expand its offerings to procedures that require high-fidelity reach.
What each company brings
FundamentalVR’s HapticVR technology enables collaborative clinical training, helping improve patient outcomes and lower surgical risks in complex procedures. Its patented technology mimics the physical touch of surgical actions, simulating the sensations of bone textures, muscle, and soft tissue. Richard Vincent, co-founder and CEO of FundamentalVR, described Haply as “a leader in kinesthetic grounded haptics” in the coverage.
Haply’s role in high-fidelity simulation
Colin Gallacher, president and co-founder of Haply Robotics, said the company was excited to support FundamentalVR’s growing business strategy by providing an integral component of a complete high-fidelity simulation solution — with Haply’s haptic devices enhancing FundamentalVR’s virtual environments and medical training scenarios through force feedback and the sense of touch.
