Simulation device for use during surgical operation, has processing unit transmitting determined secondary data to one of simulation stations such that station adapt force applied in force feedback devices based on data

摘要

The device has a processing unit (MT) receiving a primary data to determine a secondary data that represents a vector force function of a space between the received primary data. The processing unit transmits the determined data to one of simulation stations (SS-E1, SS-E2, SS-M) such that the stations adapt a force applied to force feedback devices (DRE-E1, DRE-E2) based on the secondary data. The primary data is a representative of states of a virtual tool (R). An independent claim is also included for a process of simulating interaction between a virtual object and a virtual tool.
