We describe our current prototype, which is using physical props and a Geomagic Touch. In addition, we discuss a method for collecting in vitro axial needle forces, for programming haptic feedback, along with implemented an forthcoming features such as a display of 2D ultrasonic images for targeting, biopsy needle bending, prostate bleeding and calcification. Our ultimate goal is to provide an affordable high-fidelity simulation by integrating contemporary off-the-shelf technology components.J.3 [Life and Medical Sciences]Medical information systemsI.3.6 [Computer Graphics]Methodology and TechniquesInteraction techniques10.2312/vcbm.20151229215-216
