This study introduces a global surgical training system using haptics, enabling remote collaboration on organ simulations. The prototype overcomes internet latency for realistic, shared surgical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Training
  • Haptic Technology

Background:

  • Traditional surgical training has limitations in accessibility and hands-on experience.
  • The need for remote, collaborative surgical education is increasing.
  • Haptic technology offers potential for immersive and interactive training environments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel collaborative surgical training prototype utilizing haptic feedback.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of real-time, long-distance collaboration in surgical simulation.
  • To address challenges posed by network latency in shared virtual environments.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a collaborative surgical training system with haptic capabilities.
  • Implementation of a force impulse collection mechanism and a central physics server.
