Abstract

Recently, virtual reality technology is used in various fields, and surgical simulators are expected for repeatable trainings in the medical field. On the other hand, surgeon's cooperation is necessary to improve the quality of the medical treatment even if they are geographically separated. Due to these background, networked surgical simulators, with which doctors can cooperate each other from remote places, should be developed. In this paper, we have developed a networked surgical simulator with 2 PCs, and propose a method of switching the operation right between 2 PC users. Moreover, we used two kinds of communication protocol of TCP/IP and UDP, and measured the processing time for real time operation. Finally, the proposed method enabled us to switch the operation right between 2 PCs, and both users could train for their skills in real time.
