Claim Text:
1. A system for simulating medical procedures, comprising: a body cavity simulator comprising a channel, the channel having a proximal end, a distal end, and an inner longitudinal passage extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the channel being partially made of a material comprised of one of the following: a transparent material, a translucent material, a semi-transparent material; at least one simulated medical instrument for insertion in the channel of the body cavity simulator through the proximal end, each of the at least one simulated medical instrument having a tracking device located in proximity of an end of the simulated medical instrument, the tracking device including a corresponding pattern detectable via camera and specific to the tracking device; and at least one camera for capturing through the material of the channel the pattern of the tracking device of the at least one simulated medical instrument inserted in the channel, the camera transmitting data corresponding to the captured pattern of the tracking device to a processing unit.
