An apparatus for simulating an insertion of an elongated instrument into a subject, comprising: a frame extending between two end walls along a first axis and two lateral walls along a second axis, one of the two end walls being provided with an insertion aperture and one of the two lateral walls being provided an insertion hole, the insertion aperture defining a first passageway and the insertion hole defining a second passageway, the first and second passageways intersecting each other at an intersection point; and a sensing unit contained within the frame and configured for measuring at least one of a displacement of the elongated member and a rotation of the elongated member, the sensing unit being positioned adjacent to the intersection point for performing the measurement of the at least one of the displacement and the rotation at the intersection point.

Dual channel medical simulator

There is described an artificial eye system comprising: a see-through display for displaying an image of an eye thereon; a light detector for detecting light propagating through the see-through display and coming from an external environment; and a controller for: generating the image of the eye using information about the light detected by the light detector; and displaying the generated image of the eye on the see-through display.

Artificial eye system comprising a see-through display

An artificial eye system comprising: a display unit for displaying an image of an eye thereon, the display unit comprising a light cell adapted to selectively emit light and detect light; and a controller for controlling the display unit, the controller for: operating the display unit to concurrently detect light through the light cell and display an actual image of the eye; determining a next mage of the eye to be displayed on the display unit as a function of the detected light; and operating the display unit to display the next image.

Artificial eye system

There is described a system for controlling an artificial body comprising at least one of at least one articulated body part and a sound reproduction device, the system comprising: a display unit for displaying an image of an eye thereon, the screen comprising a plurality of light cells each adapted to emit light, at least a given one of the light cells being adapted to selectively emit light and detect light; and a controller for controlling the display unit, the controller for: operating at least one first light cell each as a light detector in order to detect light incident thereon, the least one first light cell being selected among the at least a given one of the light cells; determining a reaction as a function of the detected light; and outputting a command indicative of the determined reaction.

The present system and method determine a position on an external surface of an object. The system comprises a magnetic field measurement module and an ultrasound measurement module. A control unit stores a magnetic field map of the object comprising a first plurality of reference areas of the external surface of the object and associated reference magnetic field value. The control unit also stores an ultrasound map of the object comprising a second plurality of reference areas of the external surface of the object and associated reference ultrasound characteristic. The processing unit determines: a subset of the reference areas for which the associated reference magnetic field value is substantially equal to a measured magnetic field value, a subset of the reference areas for which the associated reference ultrasound characteristic is substantially equal to a measured ultrasound characteristic, and determines the position on the external surface of the object.
