Haptic skills are essential for effective Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Existing CPR training simulators provide unrealistic chest conditions. It is assumed that the CPR performance on a real human chest is the same even when the trainees have learnt on unrealistic dummy chests. To test this assumption we have developed an immersive Virtual Reality based CPR simulator in which force feedback...
A physical disability can highly harm the capability of a person to move. There are vehicles, like powered or manual wheelchair that can give to disabled people a part of their mobility back but this will not give them their entire mobility and autonomy. Virtual Fauteuil is a platform of simulation for wheelchair that has been developed in order to analyze issues linked to the use of a wheelchair...
Cardiac auscultation is a cost-effective medical procedure used to examine the heart and obtain information regarding the hearts rate, rhythm, location timing, intensity, quality, and shape. Relying on visual, audio and haptic cues, it is a difficult skill to master and with the availability of various new diagnostic techniques, the emphasis on cardiac auscultation is decreasing in both education...
This poster presents a part-task haptic simulator for ophthalmic surgical training developed for the MicrovisTouch simulation platform. This ophthalmic surgical simulator provides both realistic 3D visualization and haptic feedback. Trainees are able to learn interacting with a physics-based dynamic virtual eye model and receiving tactile feedback by handling virtual instruments while simulating a...
To validate the hypothesis that manipulated visual information can also be used to influence haptic perception in the presence of force signals that are relevant to hand eye co-ordination task performance, such as Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training, Consumer grade Virtual Reality based system is used. This study is based on a series of psychological experiments on the discrimination of...
Immersion is of paramount importance for virtual training tasks, especially in the area of medical training simulations. Although hap tic interaction has been the major boost for immersion in visuo-hap tic rendering, the way how visual rendering represent detailed information can greatly affect hap tic pipeline and therefore is also crucial for an engaging and effective training simulation. In this...
VR-based rehabilitation aims at allowing more engaging physiotherapy sessions. This work introduces a VR system for right hand rehabilitation which uses a CyberForce/CyberGrasp/CyberGlove system.
The objective of this work is to augment actual hands-on conventional vocational training workshop with simulated training using virtual haptic simulations as part of computer-based vocational education and training. We have developed a system to simulate various common tool exercises and procedures in virtual environments for vocational training programs targeted towards illiterate and semi-literate...
Several fields of the knowledge have been benefited by technologies from Virtual Reality (VR) area. This paper presents an analysis of problems related to the domain of dentistry, specifically for training in anesthesia, and the possibility of resolution using VR. The analysis assumes that the hap tic interaction in virtual environments is relevant in the area of training in health and may contribute...
It is known that interactive experience is an efficient way to inspire the initiative of learners and fully confirm their active role in learning. To meet the demand of medical teaching, this paper centers on analyses of technical characteristics of medical simulation training and exploring designs of interactive experience system framework and calculating functional module framework. Taking liver...
We propose a haptic-based simulator for ultrasound-guided percutaneous spinal interventions. The system is composed of a haptic device to provide force feedback, a camera system to display video and augmented computed tomography (CT) overlay, a finite element model for tissue deformation and US simulation from a CT volume. The proposed system is able to run a large finite element model at the required...
A real-time Visio-haptic Bovine Rectal Palpation Simulator for training veterinary students was developed. The simulator was meant for training medical veterinary students before they could actually perform diagnosis of various parts of the reproductive tract on live animals. In this simulator the teacher guides the student in applying forces using force feedback device, when palpating different parts...
