Eurostars2: Partner for establishing a consortium to develop a multiple upper limb muscle exercise device using virtual reality and head mounted display technology

Country of Origin: South Korea
Reference Number: RDKR20170228003
Publication Date: 28 February 2017

Summary

A Korean SME specialized in automated machines is seeking partners to develop an upper limb muscle diagnosis and exercise device and submit a Eurostars2 project proposal. The potential partner is expected to have expertise in 3D computer graphic of virtual reality(VR) contents based on head mounted display(HMD), 3D sound, 3D video, remote video high-performance processing technology, and big data in hospital clinical test.

Description

A Korean SME specialized in automated machines. The SME is looking for partners who have expertise in virtual reality and 3D videos. They also need to have an interest in development of an upper limb muscle diagnosis and exercise device. 



The objective of this project is to develop devices that can diagnose and measure conditions of upper limb muscle easily and efficiently. It also enables patients or anyone who needs to enhance muscle strength of upper limbs to exercise in the right way and help not losing interest in the workout. It will be done by using virtual reality(VR) and head mounted display(HMD) technology. 



The company is seeking partners in Europe in the field of 3D computer graphic of VR and HMD. The partners are expected to provide enhancing 3D video technology and automated machines together and develop final product. The development of the device could be a good opportunity to get a competitive advantage in the market.
