A gesture-based design tool: Assessing 2DOF vs. 4DOF steerable instrument control.

Iterative prototyping is costly and time-consuming. Particularly when designing medical instruments, human factors related design choices significantly impact performance and safety. A tool is presented that allows for the evaluation of steerable instrument controls before the onset of the prototypi...
