Abstract

This work describes a virtual simulator integrating haptic devices with tactile feedback. The simulator allows users to perform the practice for palpation of uterine involution, where the user immerses in a virtual reality that brings closer to a real practice, the objective of this virtual environment is to speed up the learning process, since it provides practical notions to nursing students before having contact with real patients, highlighting that this simulator does not seek to replace real practice but rather to be an auxiliary tool.
