Accurate estimation and tracking of dynamic tissue deformation is important to motion compensation, intra-operative surgical guidance and navigation in minimally invasive surgery. ...
Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich [GM97] have been...
We present the CAVEStudy system that enables scientists to interactively steer a simulation from a virtual reality (VR) environment. No modification to the source code is necessa...

: A framework for virtual reality based training of puncture interventions is presented. The system uses a haptic device with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) to enable realistic forc...
Realistic generation of variable anatomical organ models and pathologies are crucial for a sophisticated surgical training simulator. A training scene needs to be different in eve...
