Abstract :
In the medical education, a surgery simulator which is effective to train the necessary skills is greatly expected in the current social context (e.g. kindness to animals). To realize an advanced surgery simulator, various technological issues should be overcome. In this research, we are working on the architecture of the total system what is in in the interface originally developed that united the elemental technologies to develop the surgical simulator. In this paper, we discuss the outline of the developed interface, physical and operating modeling for deformable object, reaction force when a deformable object is operated.
