Soft objects are often desired in applications such as virtual surgery training. Soft object simulations are computationally intensive because object deformation involves numerica...
Abstract. The Nine Hole Peg Test (NHPT) is routinely used in clinical environments to evaluate a patient's fine hand control. A physician measures the total time required to i...
A novel interactive virtual needle insertion simulation is presented. Simulation models are based upon planar tissue deformations and forces measured during needle insertion exper...
In this paper, we propose solutions to real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in virtual reality. Firstly, we present LEM - Long Element Method, a method creat...
