UDENTE (Universal Dental E-learning) is the world's first virtual dental school. It uses the latest cutting-edge technology, and draws from the highest rated research in global dentistry to deliver a flexible package for students, educators and other members of the dental professions alike.
The overall aim of the hapTEL™ project is to design, develop and evaluate a virtual learning system which includes haptic and synthetic devices. Haptics is the study of human touch and interaction with the external environment via touch.
Augmented Reality (AR) stands for superimposing virtual objects in the user's view of the real world, providing novel visualisation technology for a wide range of application areas. The work by VTT's Augmented Reality team dates back to the year 2000, when we started developing virtual advertisements for live TV broadcast and, a little later, games and entertainment applications.
