Original Abstract Submitted

an augmented reality/virtual reality (ar/vr) system, including a handheld controller, at least two imaging devices and a computer, is capable of simulating a variety of endoscopic, especially urological, procedures, for the purpose of training and/or equipment design evaluation. the handheld controller has inertial sensors for three axes of motion, user actuatable controls for causing the virtual urological endoscope to interact with a virtual urological environment and a haptic feedback generator for providing haptic feedback to the user. the at least two imaging devices are configured to obtain position information relating to the handheld controller and to provide the position information to the computer.
