Glove-based Interaction in Virtual Surgical Training System

چکیده
A virtual training system has been developed to train novice surgeons on using the new jig and fixture in a knee replacement surgery. In this study, we described how a virtual hand was employed in a Virtual Knee Replacement Surgery Training System. The virtual hand is equipped with HOMER-G, a selection and manipulation technique that combines the Arm-extension and Ray-casting technique for easy selection and manipulation of virtual object with the virtual grasping capability during selection task. The virtual jig and fixture are selected using Raycasting technique and the arm extension technique of HOMER-G will help to manipulate the object. The virtual hand’s movement is controlled by a data glove and Flock of Birds tracking device. HOMER-G has the grasping capability that makes the manipulation of object looks more natural.

متن کاملMultiple Assessment for Multiple Users in Training Based on Virtual Reality
Nowadays, there are several kinds of training based on virtual reality. In most of them, only one user can be trained each time. With recent computational advances, several interaction devices can be used by different users that share a same virtual world, allowing simulating more realistic environments, as surgical rooms. In order to deal with this feature, assessment systems must be general...

متن کاملBeyond Wand and Glove Based Interaction
We introduce a freehand interaction device that provides directed tactile feedback to the user’s hand. The basic idea is to enhance the user’s six degree of freedom interaction within virtual or augmented environments by offering an additional three dimensional tactile feedback as an immediate response from the virtual world. We describe the prototype system TACTool, which utilizes vibro motors...
