An impactor mechanism for virtual or telepresence surgery comprises a base. An impactor shaft has a first end and a second end, a handle portion being provided at the second end. A rotational joint(s) is between the first end of the impactor shaft and the base, the joint providing two or more rotational degrees of freedom to the impactor shaft. Sensors are in the impactor mechanism for measuring an orientation of the impactor shaft relative to the base, and for measuring at least an impact force on the impactor shaft, for use in virtual surgery.

The present disclosure relates to providing interactive virtual training to multiple medical personnel in real-time. A processing unit receives simulation data pertaining to a medical device, and a simulation model of the medical device is hosted on a server. The simulation model is generated from the received simulation data. The simulation model is securely provided on at least one first graphical user interface and at least one second graphical user interface. The at least one first graphical user interface corresponds to a trainer and the at least one second graphical user interface corresponds to a trainee.

A training simulation system and method for detection of hazardous materials simulates real-world hazardous environments to provide a trainee with hazardous material training. The system provides a hazardous material detection simulator that displays simulated readings to indicate presence thereof. The detection simulator automatically generates the simulated readings, based on its relative position to the hazard point, and based on preprogrammed hazard points in the area. A host trainer, through a trainer communication device, remotely generates and adjusts the simulated readings while tracking vehicle's position. A vehicle integrally contains the hazardous material detection simulator. A trainee controls the vehicle while also observing and reacting to the simulated readings. Once the hazard point is determined, based on simulated readings, the trainee can form a decision on the readings and react accordingly. The simulated readings can be adjusted based on the reaction of the trainee and position of vehicle relative to hazard point.

Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for accessible computer-user interactions. For example, a method can include displaying a graphical user interface on a display screen. The graphical user interface includes a virtual assessment, the virtual assessment is representative of an assessment examination, and the graphical user interface further comprises a graphical element that represents a portion of a logical problem of the assessment examination. The method can also include receiving a signal indicative of placement of a physical object onto the display screen above the graphical element, repositioning the graphical element responsive to physical movement of the physical object on the display screen, and generating a portion of an assessment score based at least in part on one or more of: physical movement of the physical object on the display screen, the signal, or the repositioning of the graphical element.
