LapSim-AI’s Webcam Laparoscopy Workbench
An experimental browser-based trainer for practicing laparoscopic peg transfers with an ordinary webcam and both hands.
Field notes
The trainer maps webcam-observed hand movements to separate virtual left and right laparoscopic instruments, with calibration and camera-position guidance built into the page. Its visible exercise is a timed Peg Transfer task that begins on the first grasp and offers pause, retry, and recalibration controls. The project recommends roughly 0.8–1.2 meters of camera distance and says video remains in the browser. It explicitly separates task measurements from surgical competence and disclaims clinical validation.
