About VR Mentor Kaiwhakamahere Whakangungu Niho

Ko VR Mentor he pūnaha ako me te whakangungu niho e tū ana i runga i te ao hangarau whakaata (virtual reality). Ka whakakotahi te pūnaha i te whakaaturanga ataata, te oro rangirua (stereophonic) me te urupare kaha kia hangaia he wheako mahi e rumakina ai te kaiwhakamahi. E rua ngā tikanga ako, arā ko te 'mahi ā-ringa' me te 'urupare pāpāhono tiritahi', me tētahi tikanga whakangungu e ārahi ana i ngā ākonga i runga i ngā ara mātanga kua hopukina, e whakaputa ana i te kukume me te ārai. Ko ngā rahinga o te pūmua he 400 ki te 400 ki te 1400 mirimita, ā, kua whakaritea ki tētahi teitei taunga-tinana (ergonomic). I hangaia te rorohiko mā te Unity3D. Ka whakaitihia e VR Mentor te matea mō ngā tauira kōiwi tinana, ā, ka whakahekea hoki ngā utu whakangungu.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Parahi

Ko VR Mentor Kaiwhakamahere Whakangungu Niho te toa o te A' Design Award Parahi, he whakaaetanga tino whai mana e hoatu ana ki ngā hoahoa kōeke e tohua ana mā te auaha, te mahi mōhio me te whakaaro hōhonu. Ko ngā toa Parahi he mahi pukenga e rite ana, he auaha mīharo, e whakatūturu ana i te wheako nui, te whakaaro me te mōhio-ā-ringa o ā rātou kaihoahoa. E tūmanakohia ana ko VR Mentor Kaiwhakamahere Whakangungu Niho he taonga whakanuia, whakamīharotia, aroha nui, he ngaio, he auaha hoki. Ko tēnei hoahoa i toa i te Parahi e whakauru ana i ngā tikanga pai rawa i te toi, te pūtaiao, te hoahoa me te hangarau, ā, he tino mīharo ki ngā taipitopito. Ka whakatutuki a VR Mentor Kaiwhakamahere Whakangungu Niho i ngā hiahia, ka pā ki ngā hiahia, ka whakaoho i ngā kare-ā-roto, ā, ka kume i te pākiki.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This product is a dental teaching and training system based on Virtual Reality. Through the multimodal combination of VR vision, stereophonic audition and force feedback, two innovative teaching modes, namely "Hands on" and "Shared haptic", along with a training mode, have been designed to provide students with immersive stereoscopic operation experience and sufficient practical opportunities.
Dimensions & Packaging: Hardware: 400 mm x 400 mm x 1400 mm. The height of the device is positioned ergonomically. Software: UWP application.
Tags: Virtual Reality, Dentistry, Haptics, Teaching and training system, learning efficiency, Practical operation ability
Production Technology: The system is mainly developed through Unity3D. The shell of the device can be made by ABS injection molding, which can not only meet the standards of medical devices, but also meet a certain strength and save the cost. The internal transmission and drive mechanism can use FRP and other materials with certain rigidity and fatigue resistance, which can ensure the stability and service life of the entire system.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part is to explore and design a novel and effective teaching model that goes beyond mere visual and basic haptic effects in VR. This model should significantly improve students' learning efficiency and practical skills, enhancing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Research: Currently, traditional training suffers from shortage of specimen resources, high cost and low efficiency. This product is a dental teaching and training system based on Virtual Reality. Through the multimodal combination of VR vision, stereophonic audition and force feedback, two innovative teaching modes, namely "Hands on" and "Shared haptic," along with a training mode, have been designed to provide students with immersive stereoscopic operation experience and sufficient practical opportunities.
Inspiration: In traditional dental education models, there are problems such as a shortage of anatomical specimens, high costs, and low efficiency, which lead to inadequate clinical training for students. The development of VR technology provides a promising solution for strengthening dental education by offering more realistic, efficient, and immersive virtual teaching and training experiences.
Project Duration: The project started at Xi'an Jiaotong University in May 2022 and ended at Xi'an Jiaotong University in May 2023
Operation Flow: By recording the operation information of the expert, In the teaching mode, it can generate a standardized visualized path track on where the adsorption force can be generated. And the students are guided to move along the operation track in a way similar to the teaching by holding their hands. And the operation track can also produce resistance, which allows students to experience the magnitude of the force feedback.
