Virtual Heart: Cardiac Simulation for Surgical Training & Education

An investigation into the technical and commercial feasibility of computer-based interactive simulation of the human heart was conducted. An experimental research application was developed and served as a proof of concept for the simulation models during the research phase. The follow-on development phase will be directed towards a pre-production prototype of a virtual heart organ. The prototyp...

Virtual Reality in Surgical Training

Virtual reality promises to change the world of surgical training and practice. Just as flight simulators revolutionized pilot training, human simulators will become the medical classrooms of the future. Surgeons will be able to train on simulated human models, perfecting their techniques without even entering an operating room. Recent advances in computer technology have placed these exciting ...
