Abstract

In this paper we provide a preliminary report on our work on the tuning of a temporal bone surgical simula-tor using parameter values derived from experimental mea-surements, and on the comparison between these results and the previously used domain expert assigned values. Our preliminary results indicate that the parameter values de-fined by the domain-experts are consistent with the exper-imentally derived values. Psychophysical testing indicates that the simulator is capable of rendering the basic ma-terial differences required for bone burring work and that some trained users preferentially associate a simulated tem-poral bone resin model with its real counterpart.
