VIRTOSHA

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.

AIXTRA

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.

REACH

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.
