Area of Science:

  • Surgical Simulation
  • Medical Robotics
  • Virtual Reality Training

Background:

  • Virtual reality (VR) systems offer promising educational tools for minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
  • High costs of dedicated haptic hardware hinder the widespread adoption of VR training in clinical and research settings.
  • There is a need for affordable and accessible haptic feedback solutions for MIS simulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present ongoing research on an open-source, low-cost haptic interface for MIS simulation.
  • To address the cost barrier associated with current haptic technologies in surgical training.
  • To facilitate broader implementation of VR-based surgical education.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a basic mechanical design for the haptic interface.
  • Integration of a sensor setup to capture user interaction.
  • Software integration to connect the haptic device with MIS simulation environments.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of a functional prototype of the open-source haptic interface.
  • Successful integration of the device's mechanical design, sensor setup, and software.
  • Validation of the low-cost approach for creating haptic feedback in MIS training.

Conclusions:

  • The developed open-source, low-cost haptic interface shows potential for enhancing MIS VR training.
  • This innovation can reduce barriers to entry for utilizing advanced surgical simulation technologies.
  • Further research and development can lead to wider accessibility and adoption of haptic feedback in surgical education.
