Abstract
A system for simulating a medical procedure includes: a physical model of an organ including a sensor mesh; directed at the physical model; a user input device including a distal end inserted within the physical model; a display device; and a simulation controller coupled to the sensor mesh, the camera system, the user input device, and the display device, the simulation controller including a processor and memory storing instructions to cause the processor to: initialize a simulation of the organ; display, on the display device, a state of the simulation; compute a location of the distal end within the physical model of the organ based on contact data from the sensor mesh and images received from the cameras; receive user input from the user input device; update the state of the simulation of the organ in accordance with the user input; and display the updated state of the simulation.
