Abstract

The objective of this research and training network is to increase the development of technologies and knowledge around virtual representations of human body for interactive medical applications. The network has a specific goal: developing realistic functional 3D models for the human musculoskeletal system, the methodology being demonstrated on the lower limb. CRS4 contributes to the network in the areas of biological soft tissue modeling, visualization, and user interaction.
