  • Compact haptic mixed reality simulator
    Patent number: 12159550
    Abstract: A compact and versatile mixed reality simulator system and methods may comprise a mixed reality processing engine and a haptic control engine to control a linear electromagnetic motor (LEM) of 1 degree of freedom made of a handheld instrument replicate and a trocar-like instrument hosting duct. The compact and versatile mixed reality simulator system may comprise multiple interchangeable instrument hosting ducts and handheld instrument replicates and the mixed reality processing engine may automatically detect, from sensors, which instrument replicate has been inserted in which duct. The mixed reality processing engine may detect a virtual contact between the handheld instrument replicate and a virtual object in a mixed reality scenario.
