A user-centered designed FOSS implementation of bone surgery simulations

Different aspects of bone surgery simulation has been a popular topic in haptics research field. This demonstration paper has two major results: a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) implementation of a well known algorithm for tool-bone interaction force estimation, and an evaluation conducted as part of a suggested Usercentered design approach for creation of a surgery simulator targeting Oral Surgery in particular.
