Mimic Consulting SErvices
Mimic is a haptic technology supplier, providing force-feedback hardware and software solutions, primarily to the medical simulation industry, that enable interaction with virtual objects through the sense of touch. Mimic’s goal is to provide custom devices and software to businesses whose current products can be improved with the integration of Mimic’s technology.
The following expertise and technology distinguishes Mimic from other companies:
Haptic Device Technology: A SCALEABLE device technology that enables Mimic to provide the sense of touch in a virtual workspace of ANY SIZE and over multiple degrees of freedom. Robotic linkage-based devices (devices that look like robot arms) cannot make this claim and cost substantially more.
Real-Time Finite Element Modeling: Proprietary algorithms allow Mimic to realistically model DEFORMABLE objects in a virtual environment. This has important implication for prototype analysis, animation and surgery simulation.
Developing realistic touch-enabled virtual reality simulation environments requires high fidelity hardware and advanced modeling capabilities. The major issue has been developing accurate computer models of human anatomy. Mimic’s modeling tools address this problem by providing accurate deformation rendering and real-time interaction with virtual soft-tissue. Mimics hardware technology is affordable and can be customized to fit a wide variety of applications.
Please contact us to discuss your haptic project needs. Our approach is to provide customer-driven proof-of-concept applications with clearly defined goals and deliverables.
