Abstract

Aim-To demonstrate innovative use of leap motion technology for cataract surgery training in wet lab.Methods-In this model user’s hand gestures are captured by a small USB peripheral device called Leap Motion.The data in terms of hand and finger movements, corresponding orientation and coordinates are communicated to the host computer, which is analyzed by the Leap Motion controller. The interactive 3D and 2D contents Hand Gesture recognition unity software can be connected and accessed through scripting. Every action performed by a user has a specific outcome on the simulator. These outcomes are evaluated by the medical simulator engine to provide a feedback to the users by altering the simulated environment.Results-Supervised wet lab sessions allows faculty to identify surgically struggling residents early and hasten the cataract surgery learning curve.Conclusion-Virtual reality surgical simulator training shortens the learning curve and reduce complication during cataract surgery.
