Abstract
A virtual reality system providing a virtual robotic surgical environment, and methods for using the virtual reality system, are described herein. The virtual reality system may simulate a robotic surgical environment in which a user may operate both a robotically-controlled surgical instrument using a handheld controller and a manual laparoscopic surgical instrument while adjacent a patient table. For example, the virtual reality system f may include one or more processors configured to generate a virtual robotic surgical environment comprising at least one virtual robotic arm and at least one virtual manual laparoscopic tool, a first handheld device communicatively coupled to the virtual reality controller for manipulating the at least one virtual robotic arm in the virtual robotic surgical environment, and a second handheld device comprising a handheld portion and a tool feature representative of at least a portion of a manual laparoscopic tool, wherein the second handheld device is communicatively coupled to the virtual reality controller for manipulating the at least one virtual manual laparoscopic tool in the virtual robotic surgical environment.
