| Abstract: |
| VR training is an immersive learning experience that recreates real life settings and simulates work challenges. It gives people the chance to gain on-the-job training in a risk-free environment. With the help of Evolve glove's haptic technology, we can not only hear and see the virtual environments, but touch physically interact with it. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Current training of skilled workers requires a large training setup which costs companies and organizations large amounts of time and money. Training these operators and professionals in an immersive VR environment will cut down training costs and time and reduce safety requirements. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| It will allow surgeons, industry operators and military personnel to train in a virtual environment along with all the sensory feedback they would get in real life. This method also allows to mimic dangerous environments which the operators may experience in real life. |
| How will the solution works |
| The exoskeleton haptic glove will restrict the movement of fingers using actuators when they come close to a virtual object. The restriction will be according to the object shape. This will give the sensation of grasping the object and feeling its shape. This is the force feedback.
Moreover, the vibrotactile actuators will provide a slight vibration on the skin where the object is close to the hand to simulate the feeling of touch. This will be the tactile feedback of the glove.
|
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| No company in Pakistan is developing VR Haptic gloves. Only some US companies are selling it for thousands of dollars. On the other hand, our glove is very cost effective with all the needed functionalities. |
