The aim of the VIRTOSHA project is to create a virtual reality training environment with haptic feedback for surgical operations on hard and soft tissues.
Together with the Universitätsklinikum Bonn (UKB), TH Cologne, and Haption, MindPort is developing an authoring solution which allows creating surgical VR training simulations that provide realistic haptic feedback to train fine motor skills of aspiring surgeons.
VIRTOSHA is part of the Gesünder.in.NRW EFRE program and funded by the IN.NRW Innovationsförderagentur, the MKW NRW, and the EU with a total budget of €1.5M.
The Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University Bonn and TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences, join forces to drive AI empowered synthesize of animations to a new level. Their ambitious goal: Create a generative AI system capable of creating and editing complex animations on a broad variety of avatars with native inputs such as text prompts and video recordings.
MindPort, consortial leader of this project, is responsible for developing the intuitive user interface which lets users access these powerful capabilities with ease. With our background in VR training, we see this as a key technology to make VR softskill training valuable and affordable, supported by VR Builder.
REACH provides a holistic authoring system for easy creation of multi-user VR/MR applications, which foster collaboration between real robots and their digital twins.
The REACH consortium of industrial and academic XR experts creates and provides a holistic authoring system for the easy creation of multi-user VR/MR applications, which foster collaboration between real robots and their digital twins. We integrate multimodal interaction like gaze, voice, sound, and visuals for smooth communication with robotic systems and support diverse user roles.
The aim of AIXTRA is to overcome language barriers in VR and to provide AI-based virtual training partners.
To achieve this goal, we will make VOXReality's AI models for translating and intent recognition available within VR Builder.
Our partner LEFX will create a demo application leveraging those new capabilities to provide interested people with real-world scenarios in VR.
