In this paper, we propose solutions to real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in virtual reality. Firstly, we present LEM - Long Element Method, a method creat...
A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. Simulation models are based upon planar tissue deformations and forces measured during needle insertion exper...
This paper presents a method to artificially re-create haptic feedback while moving and sliding an arbitrary virtual tool against a virtual deformable body with nonlinear elastic ...
We measure the performance improvement that force feedback can provide in a virtual environment, through three experiments with, and without the assistance of haptic guidance. Per...
