Upcoming webinar on Haptic Palpation for Medical Simulation in Virtual Environments August 8, 2012

The webinar presents this year’s 2012 IEEE Virtual Reality Conference Best Paper, which was awarded to Sebastian Ullrich and Torsten Kuhlen. Their paper describes a novel approach for haptic palpation interaction and presents the results of an extensive user study conducted with medical experts. Presented findings contribute to medical simulation and potentially facilitate improved education of surgical procedures, reduction of costs and most importantly increased patient safety.
