We're rocking dental education across the globe. Will you be the next to join?
"Virtual reality haptic dental training is a fantastic methodology for students to learn by experience and at their own pace in a safe environment. At UEV (Universidad Europea de Valencia) in Spain, we have started the field work of the VR-HAPTIC Thinkers cross-border cutting-edge educational research with great pleasure." Professor Maria Florencia Sittoni Pino
The Finnish name for May Day, “Vappu”, originates from Catholic St. Walpurgis, whose commemoration day was celebrated on the 1st of May. The first May Day festivities in Finland started in upper-class families in the 1700’s Nowadays, the political climate is very different and the most visible group of celebrants are the students. Vappu symbols the end of the school year and graduation but, most importantly, it’s a massive celebration! When you hit the streets during Vappu in Finland, it will be impossible to miss the groups of loud and happy students wearing colorful overalls full of different patches, drinks in their hands, and a white graduate student's cap on their heads. Here in the Middle of (K)nowhere, Kuopio, it's now time to hustle so we can celebrate big on May 1st! Work hard, relax harder. Let's crush our VR-haptic goals!
The greatest of all pleasures is the pleasure of learning, especially from the greatest minds.

Through life-like haptics-reinforced virtual reality-based simulations and outstanding hand-piece tools, the latest VR-haptic devices empower oral health care educators and transform education. Among all of the industries developing VR-haptic solutions, oral healthcare might be the one with the most sweeping effects these days.
VR-haptics represent a necessary shift in oral health education, complementing traditional simulation learning methods with standardized, immersive, and interactive experiences. By incorporating VR-haptic technology, students become active participants in their education, engaging in lifelike simulations that enhance their learning experience in a relaxed VR-haptic scenario.
Dentist / Educator / VR-Haptics Lover
Introducing one of our newest members - Professor Damiano Pasqualini, from the University of Turin (unito)! We now have 32 VR-haptic niches from all corners of the world.
A short video to show you our VR-haptic life at the University of Turin Dental School, Turin, Italy.
At the High Point University (HPU), Workman School of Dental Medicine, where the high-fidelity VR-haptic SIMtoCARE machines and low-fidelity phantom head training brings together research and teaching expertise in Dental Sciences.
Let's stand strong together!🌟
Together, we surpass technology for a shared purpose. Our mission unites us beyond the devices we hold.
Even with different VR-haptic tools, we share a common goal: to innovate and create a better future together!
Welcome Dr. Pantea, Faculty of Dentistry, at "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania!
Diving into the depths of knowledge and discovery, VR-haptics-reinforced dental education fuels our minds and propels us forward in the pursuit of truth.
Experience reality like never before in the immersive VR-haptic world. Embrace the future and leave doubts behind.
Students have a wide range of capacities, and there are many ways to train them in a smart way. VR-haptic trainers are one of the supportive options.
Students deserve to be heard and valued. Their voices are powerful and demand attention. Are you listening? It is time to amplify student voices and take action to create meaningful VR-haptic changes in education. Let's listen and act now.
Are you a real fighter that is not afraid of any obstacle? Are you ready to tear down that wall and reach your goals? Well, then you are one of our kind and we suggest you becoming our VR-Haptic Thinkers` member.
Dive into a haptic reinforced virtual realty world where learning and education meets innovation and tangible experiences redefine training norms. #Simulation #Stimulation #HapticTech
Workman School of Dental Medicine, High Point University is committed to delivering the highest quality training to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers and staff.
Together towards a better world – this is our vision and the purpose of our operations in our VR-Haptic Simulation laboratory at School of Dentistry, Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University, Peru.
The simulation laboratory is maintaining confidentiality during any VR-haptic interactions.
Feedback/debriefing in action and micro debriefing, as well as efficiency in the process
In addition to evaluating each simulation session to improve it in new versions, under the principle: “the only thing stable is change”.
