UK Haptics was founded in 2004, with the commencement of a proof of concept project to develop a prototype of the software that was to evolve into 'Virtual Veins' their leading edge 3D virtual reality training software for the nursing profession. The proof of concept project was a tremendous success and feedback from user trials with the University of Northumbria provided valuable confirmation that the software would provide the envisaged safe environment to practice technique and establish clinical metrics. Virtual Veins enables nurses to train in venepuncture in a 3D virtual environment receiving real time feedback on performance. Students and nurses can train in a risk free, virtual environment at the desktop using UK Haptics products which are designed to improve and enhance skills while providing the opportunity to practice until confident. UK Haptics has now completed a round of investment and is moving into final production stages, with more exciting products on the horizon.
