Abstract :
We present a hap tic force-profile acquisition and display system for a surgical device that will aid medical students in developing and learning surgical skills for future procedures. The goal of this study is to extend the benefits of using a low-cost surgical simulator by capturing subtle hand movements and providing realistic force feedback, enabling more realistic interaction during virtual reality based simulation.
