The modeling of soft tissue behavior is essential in haptic rendering for virtual reality based medical simulators, which provide a safe and objective medium for training medical ...
- This paper describes a virtual reality interface between human and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which allows the operator to perform nanomanipulation with an AFM tip in the...
It seems likely that humans build internal models of objects that they explore haptically, and that the complexity of an internal model is not necessarily associated with complex ...
Effective, real-time training of health care professionals in invasive procedures is a challenging task. Furthermore, assessing in practice the acquisition of the dexterity and sk...
