— Oblique-viewing endoscopes (oblique scopes) are widely used in minimally invasive surgery. The viewing direction of an oblique endoscope can be changed by rotating the scope cy...
Earlier work with a 1-D tactile transducer demonstrated that lateral skin deformation is sufficient to produce sensations similar to those felt when brushing a finger against a ...
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...
The process which enables virtual objects to mimic their real world counterparts is known as realistic rendering in haptics. Realistic sensations could relate to any spatial featu...
We present a fast proximity query algorithm for haptic display of complex deformable models using a layered representation. Assuming that each solid model can be represented as a ...
