Abstract

This paper describes the concept of multimodal cues to aid training in a medical simulator. These cues aim to provide guidance and performance feedback to the user in the form of haptic, graphic and auditory feedback presented during the simulator training. The paper describes current implementations of the cues and their integration into the Horse Ovary Palpation Simulator (HOPS) developed at Glasgow University.
