Haptic feedback for industrial VR

Collisions in VR. Boundaries you can feel.

STRIVE stops movement at virtual surfaces. Reachability, range of motion and assembly processes can be assessed more realistically—long before a physical prototype is ready.

Why STRIVE?

Better decisions in the digital model.

Visual VR presents geometry. STRIVE adds the physical information that is missing when assessing range of motion and accessibility.

Identify issues earlier

Collisions become immediately perceptible during virtual assessment.

Accelerate development

Reachability and assembly can be evaluated before real components are available.

Reduce hardware prototypes

STRIVE enables physical questions to be assessed earlier in VR with tangible feedback, reducing the need for hardware prototypes.

The system

Virtual components become tangible physical boundaries.

When the VR application detects a collision, the STRIVE Tool activates the appropriate device. This creates a physical counterforce precisely at the point of contact.

  • Targeted feedback at relevant body positions
  • Real counterforces instead of vibration alone
  • Project-specific integration into the existing VR stack

From practice

Three real validation tasks. Evaluated in VR before physical hardware was available.

At an automotive manufacturer, STRIVE was used to assess visibility and workspace in the wheelhouse, the reachability of a roof antenna and head clearance during vehicle entry more realistically.

  • Visibility and workspace
  • Reachability
  • Ergonomics and head clearance
