Transforming your experience

The haptics device integrated into the systems is the Geomagic® Phantom® Premium™.  This instrument makes it possible for users to suspend their disbelief and make a touching and palpating virtual object highly realistic.  

In addition, because the animal’s organs are visible on the computer monitor, the instructor can see exactly what the student is doing and direct their movements, something that isn’t possible with a real animal.
