A medical device company required an optimized interface design in a short period of time for an advanced surgical device under development. \u00a0Iterations of physical adjustment to the product followed by testing would be too time intensive and expensive to meet their\u00a0strict\u00a0development requirements and deadlines. \u00a0The company approached DMC with a desire to virtualize their user interface testing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

DMC worked with the client to add sensors to the prototype interface. \u00a0DMC took CAD files from the client and used them to generate a realistic 3D model of the surgical device output instrument. \u00a0The final system allows users to control the device in a realistic 3D virtual environment, allowing end users to interact with virtual objects to test surgical dexterity. \u00a0To control the 3D model, the user places their arms and hands in the actual 14-axis device that will be used for control on the final product. \u00a0Different control algorithms and settings are changed on-the-fly in the software and then immediately tested by end users. \u00a0This allows the development team to optimize the product and user interface for the best surgical control and dexterity without compromising product development timeline and budget.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The surgical device is a complex model of 14 axes of motion, requiring delicate physic programming in the back end to make the 3D movement realistic and true to life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The slick and fun interface also has future potential to be used as a marketing and training tool.<\/p>\r\n
