The Research

Some of you are asking, what the hell is he doing there ? … so I will tell you …
My research topic is Virtual Reality Haptic Simulator for Orthopaedic Surgery. Haptic means force feedback.

By putting together Haptics and Virtual Reality, the system can actually give you the feeling of real objects. For example, if you touch something in Virutal World, this will be reflected by a force to your hand in Real World, indicating that you have touched something … is this understandable?

So I will build a virtual reality system for the young surgeons to practice their surgery skills. They will feel actually that they are doing a real surgery, but it will be on the computer.

By the way, for building something people don’t get a degree here, so my research is to prove that virtual reality system can teach and actually improve the surgeon skills.

- For the first year we need to improve the system which is already exists.
- The second year we will give new surgeons to make the virtual surgeries on this virtual haptic device while I will measure their performance.
- The third year will be processing all the collected information into some conclusions.

p.s …. hmm … it will be interesting after three years to read these lines again and to see if it really went like that …

p.s.s …. on the photo near me is the Da Vinci surgical system … you can read about a bit more here : http://www.forbes.com/2004/02/18/cx_ah_0218robots.html

Yaroslav, give us explanation of you subject in Russian.

"if you touch something in Virutal World, this will be reflected by a force to your hand in Real World,..." It's not understandable for "chainiks "

Waiting for you in Botinok.
