Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) can improve the way remote users interact with one another while learning and training skills on a given task. One CVE’s possibility to the health area is the simulation of medical procedures in which a group of remote users can train and interact simultaneously. Health area has been benefited from the advent of Virtual Reality (VR) especially in education area, where these systems present some advantages over traditional teaching methods such as: cost reduction for training, reducing the use of guinea pigs and anatomical specimens in laboratory practices as well the use of interactive teaching approaches. Another VR’s feature is the ability to monitor user’s actions for assessing training performance. Thus, statistical models are used in order to check whether a group performed the procedure correctly or not. The goal is to allow the formation of teams and the development of individual skills to work together. This work proposes and discusses one CVE’s architecture for supporting training and assessment of team skills, during surgery simulation.

Combating latency in haptic collaborative virtual environments2005 •

The combination of surgical simulation and haptic interfaces provides a powerful platform for reproducing the visual and motor sensations that a surgeon experiences during a surgical operation. With the wide availability of information technologies and new, robust telecommunication technologies, remote tele-guidance for learning surgical procedures has become feasible for more effectively employing expertise through remote instruction. The current study employs an interaction analysis approach adapted to telehaptic collaboration/guidance solutions in surgical suturing task training, so we aim to identify not only the influence of the network parameters on telehaptic guidance but also on the e-learning of gestures.

Surgical model-view-controller simulation software framework for local and collaborative applications2011 •
Purpose Surgical simulations require haptic interactions and collaboration in a shared virtual environment. A software framework for decoupled surgical simulation based on a multi-controller and multi-viewer model-view-controller (MVC) pattern was developed and tested. Methods A software framework for multimodal virtual environments was designed, supporting both visual interactions and haptic feedback while providing developers with an integration tool for heterogeneous architectures maintaining high

Review of Advanced Medical TelerobotsThe advent of telerobotic systems has revolutionized various aspects of the industry and human life. This technology is designed to augment human sensorimotor capabilities to extend them beyond natural competence. Classic examples are space and underwater applications when distance and access are the two major physical barriers to be combated with this technology. In modern examples, telerobotic systems have been used in several clinical applications, including teleoperated surgery and telerehabilitation. In this regard, there has been a significant amount of research and development due to the major benefits in terms of medical outcomes. Recently telerobotic systems are combined with advanced artificial intelligence modules to better share the agency with the operator and open new doors of medical automation. In this review paper, we have provided a comprehensive analysis of the literature considering various topologies of telerobotic systems in the medical domain while shedding li...

Abstract Network architectures for collaborative virtual reality have traditionally been dominated by client-server and peer-to-peer approaches, with peer-to-peer strategies typically being favored where minimizing latency is a priority and client-server where consistency is key. With increasingly sophisticated behavior models and the demand for better support for haptics, we argue that neither approach provides sufficient support for these scenarios nor, thus, a hybrid architecture is required.
Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) can improve the way remote users interact with one another while learning or training skills on a given task. One CVE’s application is the possibility of simulating medical procedures in which a group of remote users can train and interact simultaneously. It is important that networking issues and performance evaluation of CVEs allows us to understand how such systems can work in the Internet, as well as the requirements for multisensorial and real-time data. Thus, this paper discloses implementation issues of a peer-to-peer multicast network architecture on the collaborative module of the CyberMed VR framework. The multicast protocol is known to provide better scalability and decrease the use of bandwidth on CVEs, allowing better Quality of Experience (QoE). Finally it presents the results of a performance evaluation experiment.
