Item Virtual Femoral Palpation Simulation for Interventional Radiology Training(The Eurographics Association, 2010) Coles, Timothy R.; Gould, Derek A.; John, Nigel W.; Caldwell, Darwin G.; John Collomosse and Ian GrimsteadA femoral palpation simulation for training purposes has been developed to simulate the initial steps of the Seldinger technique which is currently neglected in both commercial and academic medical training simulations. The simulation co-locates visual and haptic feedback through the use of an augmented reality video see-through visualisation whilst requiring no headwear to be worn. The visual simulation implements shadowing of the users real hand in the virtual world to increase depth perception, textured deformable tissue and visually realistic cloth, whilst haptic feedback combines both tactile and force feedback based on in-vivo measured force and tactile data. The simulation is a work in progress and is to undergo validation.
