Title
Pattern cutting and ligating loop simulation in Virtual Basic Laparoscopic Skill Trainer (VBLaST.
Abstract
This paper presents the pattern cutting and ligating loop simulation in the Virtual Basic Laparoscopic Skill Trainer (VBLaST©). In the simulation, the gauze, tubular foam, and ligating loop thread are modeled by the mass-spring method and constraint projection for the inextensible characteristics. Discrete simulation states defined based on the tool-object interaction types are utilized to efficiently and accurately manages the physics simulation, collision processing, and haptic feedback in real-time. An automated scoring system provides quantitative measurement for evaluation of trainees' skills. The simulation results show advanced visual realism and real-time performances.
