Phantom-based multimodal interactions for medical education and training the Munich knee joint simulator.

Phantom-based multimodal interactions for medical education and training the Munich knee joint simulator.

Simulation environments based on virtual reality technologies can support medical education and training. In this paper, the novel approach of an "interactive phantom" is presented that allows a realistic display of haptic contact information typically generated when touching and moving hu...
