Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a new glove interface that can manipulate many kinds of objects in virtual space by real hand movements. This glove has the same form and material as a surgical glove, and the user´s movements are unrestricted. Thus, while performing operations on a real human body, the user can control many kinds of data that are displayed in virtual space. During operations, the surgeon can handle many kinds of data, for example, synchopexia, MRI images, 3DCT images, and time sequential 3D images by using this glove
