The primary task is to design and construct a silicone phantom that replicates the anatomical structure of a liver. In parallel, with the developments of its digital twin using the SOFA Framework, an open-source platform dedicated to real-time physical simulation. The aim is to thoroughly explore the possibilities offered by this software, particularly in simulating deformable objects like human organs, creating an interactable digital twin that can realistically reproduce interactions with the physical phantom. This project will not only increase our understanding of the SOFA Framework’s capabilities but also contribute to advancements in extended reality applications in surgery.
