MEDICAL: Surgery simulation tool 'cheaper than buying a cadaver': Technology combines VR and haptics to mimic feel of human tissue

摘要

London start-up FundamentalVR claims its surgery simulation technology, which merges VR with haptics, can be acquired for less than the cost of a cadaver. FundamentalVR's Surgical Haptic Intelligence Engine (SHIE) is designed to mimic the feel of operating on various types of human tissue, from subcutaneous fat to muscle and bone.
