MODAL (Multimodality Device for Augmented Learning) is a bimanual multimodality haptic feedback device for visual-haptic acuity development in robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) training. In this demonstration, users wear MODAL on their left and right wrists as they watch a point-ofview endoscopic video of a surgeon completing a suturing task. Users can expect to feel wrist-squeezing feedback of applied forces and vibration feedback of the tool contact vibrations temporally aligned with tool interactions in the video.
