Project Description

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Human-Computer Interaction under Sterile Conditions. Review of state of the art (tochless interaction) Development of new user interfaces to support surgical interterventions	Long, intensive conceptualization (2 days) of possibilities for gesture interaction and audio feedback for it We will need moderation kit (paper, pencil, markers, etc) Prototypes of possible auditory/visual feedback based on conceptualization With OSC communication protocol, David will make quick, flexible sound methods foot/eye interaction (?)

Background

Example of previous related work using standard surgical gloves and OR compatible plastic draping confirmed to be compatible with sterile requirements at BWH AMIGO: ]
