ABSTRACT
Engineering
as it finds its wide range of application in every field not an exception even
the medical field. One of the technologies which aid the surgeons to perform
even the most complicated surgeries successfully is Virtual Reality.
Even
though virtual reality is employed to carry out operations the surgeon’s
attention is one of the most important parameter. If he commits any mistakes it
may lead to a dangerous end. So, one may think of a technology that reduces the
burdens of a surgeon by providing an efficient interaction to the surgeon than
Virtual Reality. Now our dream came to reality by means of a technology called
“HAPTIC TECHNOLOGY”.
Haptic
is the “science of applying tactile sensation to human interaction with
computers”. In our paper we have discussed the basic concepts behind haptic
along with the haptic devices and how these devices are interacted to produce
sense of touch and force feedback mechanisms. Also the implementation of this
mechanism by means of haptic rendering and contact detection were discussed.
We
mainly focus on ‘Application of Haptic Technology in Surgical Simulation and
Medical Training’. Further we explained the storage and retrieval of haptic
data while working with haptic devices. Also the necessity of haptic data
compression is illustrated.
