Currently, clinical simulators (full-body, robotic electromechanical devices) rely on computer-based input through a laptop computer. The computer interface is a complex series of screen-based inputs that are typically handled through keystrokes and the use of a mouse. The goal of this project will be to design and create a new more efficient interface for the Laerdal simulators for medical training with Jump Trading Simulation & Education Center. Currently commands are performed through a series of keystrokes and mouse actions. Along with the keyboard and mouse, the simulator operator will also have a set of dials and a capacitive touch screen to select modes and make adjustments to the simulation. The additional hardware will communicate with the existing Laerdal software through USB. |
