| Abstract: | Currently, educational processes in medical surgery field involve not only theoretical in-class studies that are immediately followed by practical lessons in mortuaries and hospitals, but also involve simulations of various levels of reality. This paper describes our current progress in Virtual Surgery System development, which is targeted to support educational processes in medical surgery. With this system all surgery operations are performed using a virtual reality headset and haptic manipulators with force feedback. The main feature of our approach is applying a voxel data structure of a human body that provides an opportunity to simulate realistic behavior of the body. Thus, cutting, sewing, and welding of human tissues processes become realistic and, together with providing a realistic surgery scene, these will significantly speed up educational processes. |
