HAPTIC FEEDBACK ON THE DENSITY OF VIRTUAL 3D OBJECTS

摘要

Systems and methods are presented for visualizing a 3-dimensional (3-D) image and providing haptic feedback to a user when the user interacts with the 3-D image. In some embodiments, a method is presented. The method may include accessing, in a wearable visualization device, density data of a physical structure. The method may further include generating a three-dimensional image of the physical structure based on the density data, displaying the three-dimensional image in the wearable visualization device, receiving manipulation data associated with the three-dimensional image from a haptic device, and providing haptic feedback data associated with the three-dimensional image, to the haptic device, based on the manipulation data.

1. A method comprising:
accessing anatomical data corresponding to a three-dimensional image of a physical structure; causing display of the three-dimensional image of the physical structure using a wearable visualization device based on the anatomical data; monitoring a position of a body member of a user of the wearable visualization device relative to a corresponding location on the physical structure displayed to the user in the three-dimensional image, the position of the body member being associated with a haptic device; accessing density data corresponding to the location on the physical structure; identifying haptic feedback data corresponding to the density data; and causing the haptic device to provide haptic feedback corresponding to the location on the physical structure.
