A Framework for Visuo-Haptic Simulation of Puncture Interventions
نویسندگان
چکیده
A framework for virtual reality based training of puncture interventions is presented. The system uses a haptic device with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) to enable realistic force sensations during needle insertions into virtual patients. A manifold of different visualization techniques gives new insights into the anatomy of the punctured region. The 3D effect is enhanced by stereoscopic visualization. An evaluation component rates the quality of virtual punctures to give the user feedback and improvement suggestions. Currently the system supports the training of three different puncture tasks. Two of them have been evaluated in a pilot user study with 55 participants. The questionnaire based study indicates a high user acceptance.

Exploring visuo-haptic augmented reality for training
Computer based training has been intensively studied in the last decades and its application in different domains became highly popular. Current systems, however, only provide a fully simulated environment in which the training takes place. Their application is therefore limited by the complexity of the simulated scene or by the capability of the underlying hardware. A concept which can be used...

Recent advances in haptic technology and the wider availability of the haptic devices allow developers to construct visuo-haptic interfaces and simulators employed to simulate especially medical procedures. The visuo-haptic simulators combine visual and tactile information and provide training scenarios which help gaining or improving the trainee’s skills. In this paper we review visuo-haptic s...
متن کاملThe Integration of Vision and Haptic Sensing: a Computational & Neural Perspective
When looking at an object while exploring and manipulating it with the hands, visual and haptic senses provide information about the properties of the object. How these two streams of sensory information are integrated by the brain to form a single percept is still not fully understood. Recent advances in computational neuroscience and brain imaging research have added new insights into the und...
متن کاملA Robust Controller with Online Authority Transformation for Dual User Haptic Training System
In this study, a force reflection control structure is developed for the surgery training haptic system. In the surgery training haptic system, the surgical operation is cooperatively performed by a trainer and a trainee. The participation of each surgeon in the operation is established through their own haptic consoles. Although the operation is primarily performed by the trainee, the trainer ...
