About VR Mentor Masini Aʻoaʻoga mo Foliga Nifo
O le VR Mentor o se faiga aʻoaʻoga ma aʻoaʻoga nifo e faavae i luga o le mea moni faavirtual (virtual reality). O le faiga e tuʻufaʻatasia ai faʻaaliga vaʻaia, leo stereophonic ma fesoasoani malosi (force feedback) e fatuina ai se aʻoaʻoga faʻaonaponei e lagona ai e le tagata aʻoga e pei o loʻo iai moni lava. E lua ituaiga aʻoaʻoga, o le lima faʻaogaina (hands on) ma le faʻasoa haptic (shared haptic), faʻapea foʻi ma se faiga aʻoaʻoga e taʻitaʻia ai le tagata aʻoga e ala i ala na faʻamauina e tagata popoto, lea e maua ai le tosina ma le teenaina. O meafaigaluega faakomepiuta e 400 i le 400 i le 1400 milimita le tele, ma ua faʻatulagaina i se maualuga talafeagai mo le faʻaogaina lelei (ergonomic). O le polokalama komepiuta na fausia i le Unity3D. E faʻaitiitia e le VR Mentor le manaʻomia o faʻataʻitaʻiga anatomia moni ma faʻaitiitia ai tau o aʻoaʻoga.
The Recognition
About the A' Design Award Apamemea
O le A' Design Award Apamemea na manumalo ai VR Mentor Masini Aʻoaʻoga mo Foliga Nifo, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu ese e iloga i le fatufatuaʻi, le atamai ma le poto. O ē manumalo i le Apamemea o mea e iai le tomai atoa ma fatufatuaʻi mataʻina e faamaonia ai le poto masani tele, le mafaufau ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina VR Mentor Masini Aʻoaʻoga mo Foliga Nifo e avea ma mea e vivii tele, ua pelepelea, e iloga i le tomai faapolofesa ma mea fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Apamemea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili i le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi ma e sili ona lelei i le mataituina o mea itiiti. VR Mentor Masini Aʻoaʻoga mo Foliga Nifo e faamalieina matagofie manaʻoga, pa i manaʻo, faalataina lagona ma faaosofia le fia iloa.
Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- 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.
