A virtual reality throat examination simulation.
Computer based patient simulators can provide an alternative to inanimate clinical skills training. Here we present a virtual reality throat examination simulation capable of simulating a range of throat pathologies. The computer interface employs haptic feedback to allow students to interact naturally with the software.
