Virtual palpation

This project is to design a virtual tool to help simulating the touching feedback of human abdomen in surgical simulation system. This Virtual Palpation Tool can help to train interns to learn how to palpate abdomen and feel the organs beneath the skin surface. During this project, the hapti...
