Abstract
In this paper, we describe the design of the hardware and software for a virtual bronchoscope with force feedback. A haptic interface allows surgeons to feel the reaction force of virtual pneumonic surgery as if they were touching the area directly. We present novel algorithms for haptic force rendering, and examine its ability to display force. The rendering algorithms have been interfaced with a force-reflecting device. This virtual haptic bronchoscope is of significance in training inexperienced doctors in pneumonic diagnosis and surgery.
