Abstract:

Augmented reality may benefit medical training by providing visual and haptic feedback as the user manipulates passive materials. We propose a haptic bracelet for feedback in a needle decompression training task, which allows the user to manipulate a physical needle represented in virtual space. As the user inserts the needle through virtual tissue layers, they receive haptic feedback on the wrist depending on the interaction forces at the needle tip. A virtual training environment was created to provide differing haptic feedback when the needle is inserted in locations with a hidden bone representing collision with a rib during the needle decompression task. A pilot study demonstrated that a user can recognize the location of the virtual rib via this haptic feedback; this motivates future work to use this feedback in a medical training system.
