title: Real-time passive tracking for multi-touch medical modeling and simulation.
abstract: The military medical community expects to minimize use of live tissue and cadavers for training purposes. This research demonstrates an innovative use of synthetic tissue and passive tracking computer vision to create a real-time, interactive environment for training medical staff.
