		Feb 20, 2008 Quanser at Medicine Meets Virtual Reality 16 (MMVR16) Conference MMVR took place in Long Beach, California, just south of Los Angeles. Although Quanser has been present at the conference in the past, it was its first time as an exhibitor. Quanser's booth was very popular - attracting surgeons, academics and companies interested in medical haptic research and training devices, but also in rehabilitation - drawing the attention with a rehab demonstration system available on-site. The exposure and quality of business discussions at MMVR will likely make this event a "must repeat" for Quanser. Full Story [44 Kb]
