Silicone blood vessel simulator is actually used in simulator based training representing human vasculature morphology physically. With this simulator, we can use many of real instruments and experience its reproduction of human morphology and physical characteristics. But the problem of quantitative evaluation of user technical skills and skill transfer has not been solved yet. Recently photoelastic materials for vasculature modeling and motion capture technologies for catheter motion and operator hands has been investigated to add these properties to in-vitro vasculature models in a cyber-physical system. In this research we present some preliminary user studies results of this cyber-physical system for endovascular surgery evaluation.
