haptic cow simulator done by the Glasgow Intera ctive Systems Group and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (University o f Glasgow, UK): Bovine rectal palpation is a necessary skill for a veterinary student to learn. However, lack of resources and welfare issues currently restric t the amount of training available to students in this procedure. Here we present a virtual reality based teaching tool - the Bovine Rectal Pa lpation Simulator - that has been developed as a supplement to existing training methods. When using the simulator, the student palpates virtu al objects representing the bovine reproductive tract, receiving feedba ck from a PHANToM haptic device (inside a fibreglass model of a cow), w hile the teacher follows the students actions on the monitor and gives instruction. We present a validation experiment that compares the perf ormance of a group of traditionally trained students with a group whose training was supplemented with a simulator training session. The subse quent performance in the real task, when examining cows for the first t ime, was assessed with the results showing a significantly better perfo rmance for the simulator group.
