Abstract:
1. A microsurgery simulator comprising: a physical surrogate surgical microscope that represents a simulated surgical microscope, the physical surrogate surgical microscope comprising a physical surrogate surgical interface that represents an interface between a user and a surgical scenario being simulated by the simulator, the physical surrogate surgical interface being configured to be manipulated by a user; at least one sensor configured to sense a user's manipulation of the surrogate surgical interface; and a surgical simulation generator operatively connected to the at least one sensor and configured to generate a real time 3D surgical simulation of the surgical scenario based on the manipulation sensed by the at least one sensor, the real time 3D surgical simulation comprising real time simulation state data, the surgical simulation generator being configured to render the real time simulation state data into a real time computer graphics generated video representation of the surgical simulation and provide the real time computer graphics generated video representation to the display screen, wherein the mobile device is configured to display the real time computer graphics generated video representation on the display screen, wherein the surgical simulation generator comprises the processor of the mobile device such that the processor of the mobile device is configured to perform at least a portion of a computational analysis that is used to generate the real time computer graphics generated video representation.
