Abstract Background The development of modern surgical simulators is highly challenging, as they must support complex simulation environments. demand for higher realism in such has driven researchers to adopt physics‐based models, which are computationally very demanding. This poses a major problem, since real‐time interactions permit graphical updates 30 Hz and much rate 1 kHz force feedback (haptics). Recently several physics engines have been developed offer multi‐physics capabilities,...

Dermoscopy is one of the common and effective imaging techniques in diagnosis skin cancer, especially for pigmented lesions. Accurate lesion border detection key to extract important dermoscopic features lesion. In current clinical settings, delineation performed manually by dermatologists. Operator based assessments lead intra- inter-observer variations due its subjective nature. Moreover it a tedious process. Because aforementioned hurdles, automation boundary images necessary. this study,...

The development of a multimodal interactive simulation is very elaborate task due to the various complex software components involved, which run simultaneously at high rates with maximum CPU load. In this work, we propose parallel framework called SoFMIS create rapid simulations such as surgical simulations. Our offers great flexibility and customization allowing developers researchers concentrate on logic rather than component development.

One of the essential components a virtual reality surgical simulation is deformation. Deformations in computer graphics and simulations are commonly modeled with three different approaches e.g. geometry based methods, Finite Element method (FEM), Mass-spring Method (MSM). The methods quite fast visually appealing. Late two take physics deformation into consideration. Even though FEM results more physically realistic deformations, significant drawback this its expensive computation cost...

This paper introduces an Augmented Reality (AR)-based chemistry (ARChem) lab platform for teaching and assessment. The current in-class has several drawbacks such as the high cost of materials, physical constraints in sizes, exposure to hazardous materials. Besides, with Covid-19, access in-person labs materials is significantly restricted. restriction hampers regular instruction, self-learning, hands-on experience. Our ARChem stems from motivation delivering a similar experience...
