Abstract

Different aspects of bone surgery simulation has been a popular topic in haptics research field. This demonstration paper has two major results: a free and open source software (FOSS) implementation of a well known algorithm for tool-bone interaction force estimation, and an evaluation conducted as part of a suggested User-centered design approach for creation of a surgery simulator targeting Oral Surgery in particular.
