  • Device and method for simulating an examination or a surgical operation performed on a simulated organ
    Patent number: 5909380
    Abstract: A device for simulating a procedure on a simulated organ by an operator, which simulated organ is generated using at least one digitized photograph. The device includes a binocular for observing the organ, fitted with a control stage system, to displace the binocular in an orthonormal triaxial frame. The device further includes means for synthesizing a computer image of the simulated organ, which includes means for simulating a slit lamp, adjusting the dimensioning of the slit lamp, and means for simulating magnifying optics.
