title: Development of Haptic Needle for VR Based Injection Training System Using Simulated Patient.
abstract: VR based injection training system using standardized patient was proposed. This system uses haptic needle (HNSP) which can represent haptic force. Since the previously proposed system had a few problems with haptic reproduction, biological reproducibility needed to be improved. In order to solve these problems, we developed a new HNSP to replace the haptic needle. In addition, we conducted two validation studies for the HNSP.
