This latest in the Academy’s Innovation in… series of events will showcase a selection of the most recent advances in haptic technologies that are bringing virtual reality to life and revolutionising the way we interact with technology.
Virtual reality is well established in the gaming industry and has made inroads into many other sectors, including transport, manufacturing and healthcare. Haptics, the sense of touch, offers an additional dimension, creating experiences that are more engaging, impactful and ultimately, more real.
This event will feature exciting presentations and live demonstrations from Ultrahaptics, Generic Robotics, Fundamental VR, Kinicho, NeuroCONCISE, Tangi0 and more.
