Abstract:
Successful applications of haptic displays are limited to tool-based interfaces that simulate haptic effects on surgical and other medical instruments. However, no satisfactory haptic display exist so far, that enable the simulation of high fidelity palpation of human tissue or body segments. Existing approaches developed for medical training fail due to unrealistic haptic effects, time-consuming donning and doffing, and inconvenient use (e.g., mechatronic tactile and kinesthetic displays) or du...     »
