Four levels of interaction.
The hardware roadmap moves from headset and controller cues to wearables, gloves and procedure-specific force peripherals.
- 01 Headset and controller feedback
- 02 Wearable body haptics
- 03 Advanced haptic gloves
- 04 Specialist force-feedback peripherals
Feedback needs a meaningful source.
A cue should be driven by a known simulation event. Advanced applications may include instrument contact, palpation or procedural resistance after a suitable model and hardware are developed.
- Recorded event-to-device mappings
- Device-specific calibration
- Explicit separation of vibration and force feedback
A validation pathway.
No clinically validated force simulation is claimed. Each procedure, device and feedback model needs its own evaluation.
- Hardware behavior and repeatability
- Biomechanical and sensory model validation
- Expert assessment of training relevance
