Abstract :
This study establishes a practical environment for transferring knowledge on bioelasticity between expert and trainee medical practitioners. Through haptic interaction with a deformable virtual anatomical model, experts set the model´s elasticity conditions by simulating a surgical procedure. Trainees experience the elasticity by attempting the same surgical manipulation
