Virtual reality medical simulators are expensive. HT Medical developed an affordable PC-based system for flexible bronchoscopy training and is extending it to simulate flexible sigmoidoscopy and ureteroscopy procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality Technology
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • High cost of virtual reality (VR) simulators impedes widespread adoption in medical training.
  • Existing VR simulators often lack realistic haptic feedback and advanced graphics.
  • Need for cost-effective and accessible simulation tools for endoscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the development and extension of the PreOp platform for medical simulation.
  • To demonstrate the integration of force feedback, multimedia, and 3D graphics in a PC-based VR simulator.
  • To adapt the PreOp platform for simulating flexible sigmoidoscopy and ureteroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a PC-based VR simulator with integrated force feedback.
