This paper presents a web browser-based software framework that provides accessibility, portability, and platform independence for medical simulation. Typical medical simulation systems are restricted to the underlying platform and device, which limits widespread use. Our framework allows realistic and efficient medical simulation using only the web browser for anytime anywhere access using a variety of platforms ranging from desktop PCs to tablets. The framework consists of visualization, simulation, and hardware integration modules that are fundamental components for multimodal interactive simulation. Benchmark tests are performed to validate the rendering and computing performance of our framework with latest web browsers including Chrome and Firefox. The results are quite promising opening up the possibility of developing web-based medical simulation technology.
本文提出了一种基于网络浏览器的软件框架，该框架为医学模拟提供了可访问性、可移植性和平台独立性。典型的医学模拟系统受限于底层平台和设备，这限制了其广泛应用。我们的框架仅使用网络浏览器，就能在从台式电脑到平板电脑等各种平台上实现随时随地的访问，从而进行逼真且高效的医学模拟。该框架由可视化、模拟和硬件集成模块组成，这些模块是多模态交互式模拟的基本组件。我们使用包括Chrome和Firefox在内的最新网络浏览器进行基准测试，以验证我们框架的渲染和计算性能。结果很有前景，为基于网络的医学模拟技术的开发开辟了可能性。
