The FundamentalVR company calls its Fundamental Surgery service a ‘flight simulator for surgery’. One distinguishing feature of this state-of-the-art surgery simulator is its ‘haptic feedback’, a sense of touch. Fundamental Surgery creates a realistic environment simulating that of a real surgical intervention. It also measures and stores results in order to document progress and highlight areas needing special attention. The developers thus hope to improve patient outcomes and reduce surgeon training costs.
