VISUAL AND HAPTIC RENDERING OF TEMPORAL BONE SURGERY

摘要

Visual and haptic rendering of temporal bone drilling comprises the second stage of system design and is the focus of this paper. A geometric model has been produced for this purpose. The suitability of the Reachin Application Programming Interface (API) to facilitate simulator implementation is examined. Texture mapping is applied for visual rendering of drill bit and bone interactions. Force and torque feedback associated with bone dissection are introduced. The progress made is reported. The model will incorporate electrode array insertion as a final stage in design.
