    This study introduces an augmented reality haptic simulation system for training spinal needle insertions. The system provides realistic force feedback, enabling safe and accessible medical training.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Augmented Reality
    • Haptics

    Background:

    • Spinal needle insertion training traditionally requires cadavers or live patients.
    • Existing simulation methods may lack realistic tactile feedback.
    • There is a need for accessible, safe, and effective training tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a prototype for an augmented reality (AR) haptic simulation system.
    • To evaluate the system's potential for spinal needle insertion training.
    • To offer a training solution independent of live patients or cadavers.

    Main Methods:

    • The system integrates a torso mannequin, optical tracking, a haptic device, and a graphical user interface.
    • Augmented reality overlays patient anatomy onto the physical mannequin.
