Advanced 3D Human Simulation Components with Thermal/Haptic Feedback and Tissue Deformation, Phase II
Completed
Description
In integrating the following three significant components for its research/research and development (R/R&D) effort, the power of this candidate Phase II project will be demonstrated and developed the following 1. Software Application Development Toolkit for Simulation and Training 2. Physiological Hardware/Software Interface for Dynamic Balance Trainer. 3. A Data Glove and control system captures the motion of the Robonaut hand and finger The multi-faceted CVEST development environment operates as a plug-and-play interface to various software and hardware products specializing in virtual reality-based simulation development. The final Phase II demonstration will feature to show the CVEST toolkit for the CEV Seat design concept This STTR Phase II candidate project will concentrate on some new physiological hardware/software devices to produce a Dynamic Balance Trainer System to improve Post-flight Locomotor Performance. Lastly STTR Phase II candidate project will develop and demo a prototype concept device to capture the positional and rotational of the Robonaut hand

How to get involved
This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.
None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
