Interaktive phantomkörper für die medizinische ausbildung

Foree-torque measuring input devices can significantly enhance the performance of classical simulation environments that are based on pure passive phantoms. Such devices allow not only the determination of forcetorque amplitude and direction but also the contact point on the phantom. The force torque information can be displayed visually or acoustically, drive a realistic graphical animation environment or it can be saved and compared with a haptic library comprising the force/torque history of any medical specialist. Three examples will show, how this principle might be used in future applications.
