Brain Surgery Simulator - From medically backwards Canada!

submitted by Payback

1 decade 5 years 2 months 3 weeks ago

This is possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a while.

Can't wait for the Wii version!!

Even uses force feedback and the actual brain of the person about to be operated on from MRI data.

All I can say is WOW!
Kinda makes the most advanced video games look old-school!

Still, it's no rocket science simulator.

He was playing Trauma Center with her head wtf. Guess he got an S Rank on that one though lolol.

The haptic device is the advanced part , the software is not that complex comparably if you compare it to some of the graphical , AI , and physics programming that goes into commercial games. still not bad though and stuff like this dose not need to be that complex so long as it works , its like how you can simulate quite complex procedures with very basic and cheep devices

does it make a loud buzzing sound if you slip?

A university teacher of mine has developed a similar machine with force feedback and computer models of heart surgery, specifically infant heart surgery, since it's insanely hard to work with "blindfolded".
