Abstract

This study establishes a practical environment for transferring knowledge on bioelasticity betweenexpert and trainee medical practitioners. Through haptic interaction with a deformable virtual anatomicalmodel, experts set the model's elasticity conditions by simulating a surgical procedure. Traineesexperience the elasticity by attempting the same surgical manipulation.
