Simulation of surgical procedures with Jchai3D

Abstract

This paper presents the concept of a new platform used to simulate surgical procedures in health field. Jchai3D is a tool which allows easy developing of virtual reality applications. Using this framework is possible to build simulations systems which can be used as educational/training tools. Jchai3D is totally open-source and it is available online for download. In addition, Jchai3D is multiplatform, and it can be executed in several environments like Windows, Linux or Mac OS.
