— According to medical experts, haptic realism is difficult to achieve, and even more difficult to have inter-expert agreement on the haptic feedback of one simulation. However haptic feedback is important in medical training, and allows educators to share the forces felt during a procedure if they know and trust what a particular virtual simulator will provide to the trainee. A new approach is proposed to refine bio-mechanical models with experts' input, to closely match the forces felt during a simulated procedure with an expert trainer's expectations. By allowing experts to tune a training scenario's haptic feedback as they trial a newly developed case, the experts can replicate their haptic perception and match their expectations with the simulation.
