      Halabi, O.; Al-Mesaifri, F.; Al-Ansari, M.; Al-Shaabi, R.; Barki, H.; ... more authors ( IEEE Computer Society , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      Recently, surgical simulation is a widely used method to train surgeons on specific surgeries due to the fact that it helps reducing surgical errors. Available surgical simulations lack realism since they only incorporate ...
    • Incorporating olfactory into a multi-modal surgical simulation 

      Halabi, O.; Al-Mesaifri, F.; Al-Ansari, M.; Al-Shaabi, R.; Miyata, K. ( Maruzen Co., Ltd. , 2014 , Article)
      This paper proposes a novel multimodal interactive surgical simulator that incorporates haptic, olfactory, as well as traditional vision feedback. A scent diffuser was developed to produce odors when errors occur. Haptic ...
