Realistic modeling of the interaction between surgical instruments and human organs has been recognized as a key requirement in the development of high-fidelity surgical simulato...
Tool-type haptic interfaces such as scissors are used to present force feeling for surgical training in virtual reality environment. Presentation of force feelings of plural tools...
One of the most important task in surgical simulation is the ability to cut volumetric organs. Several algorithms have already been described but none of them can actually maintai...
