Augmented Reality biopsy simulations allow training of different procedures with various complexities while seeing the insertion of the biopsy needle on a CT scan in real-time. This informs trainees with a comprehensive overview of the situation, however lacks the haptic feedback which is a crucial factor of the procedure, especially for higher risk insertions. 

Neetly provides accurate haptic feedback that matches the resistance of the different tissues of biopsy procedures. This helps students gain confidence and experience before entering the workforce. 

The project was a remote collaboration between students from Imperial College London, the Technical University of Munich and Gravity Sketch, exploring best practices for remote collaboration using Gravity Sketch’s design and collaboration platform.
