Medical Visualisation, Biomechanics, Figure Animation and Robot Teleoperation: Themes and Links

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASHT,volume 84))

Abstract

The relatively-unconnected areas of medical visualisation, biomechanics, figure animation and robot teleoperation are considered, and relationships between the fields are identified. Influences of computer imaging on the computer graphics content are described, as is assistance provided in the opposite direction.
