To simulate the inverted hand-eye co-ordination movement that is experienced in arthroscopy, we need to provide a fulcrum between the hand and the instrument end.
AR-throscopy Kit
To do this, we have made designed a low-cost, compact, light-weight AR-throscopy Kit that can be assembled within minutes. You can purchase the kit online. If you have any questions about the kit, then please contact us.

Make Simulator Box
There are many ways in which a simulator box can be made, but it is important to consider a few factors:
- it is large enough to allow manipulation of the handles without hitting the sides
- it is open enough to allow sufficient light to enter – if not, the camera on the phone will not pick up the markers
