Abstract Real-time performance and accuracy are two most challenging requirements in virtual surgery training. These difficulties limit the promotion of advanced models in virtual surgery, including many geometric and physical models. This paper proposes a physical model of virtual soft tissue, which is a twist model based on the Kriging interpolation and membrane analogy. The proposed model can quickly locate spatial position through Kriging interpolation method and accurately compute the force change on the soft tissue through membrane analogy method. The virtual surgery simulation system is built with a PHANTOM OMNI haptic interaction device to simulate More >
