The use of Virtual Reality (VR) elements and, especially in this case the Dataglove, as measuring tool; the generation of virtual intra-abdominal working areas; and the virtual design of the working side of the instruments offer distinct advantages and open up new possibilities with respect to the ergonomic evaluation of instruments. The paper describes the possibilities and experiences when using VR elements, such as the Dataglove, as a means of measurement and also how this device has been integrated in the assessment of the mechanical instruments used in minimal invasive surgery. In addition to the integration, the paper will conclude with a description of the plans to expand the system.
