Abstract
A successful medical simulator or surgical system based on virtual reality requires the participation of a team of specialists including experts in ergonomics and applied psychology, software engineering and digital 3D design, electromechanical engineering, robotics, and microtechnology. Consequently, no single database adequately covers all the issues involved. This review is based on our experience supplemented with data from searches of Medline and the Ergonomics Information Analysis Centre (University of Birmingham) and of the internet with various web search engines.Keywords
