Next-Generation Internet Project
The Next-Generation Internet (NGI) group is a group of collaborators
working on applications of next-generation networking in medical education.
The group leading this effort is the
Stanford University Medical Media and Information Technologies (SUMMIT)
group. They have recently received a grant from the National
Libraries of Medicine (NIH) to support this work. The other groups
participating in this work are:
This page concerns the portion of work that the Biocomp Center is
involved with, specifically, the production of a patient-specific,
real-time, networked, distributed, surgical simulation system with
soft-tissue modeling and haptics.
For more information on our part of the work, you may wish to
check out
this
overview of the project. For our work in networked haptics in general,
look
here. Finally, we have tried to build a group of collarborators
in this area and have formed a group called
SHWinG.
Simulation Server
I'm currently finishing up a web front-end for running our spring
soft-tissue simulation software. The page for it is
