Access to surgical training, however, is limited, and typical teaching techniques may not give the essential experience to acquire these abilities. Immersive technologies, including VR and AR, offer the potential to improve surgical training by allowing learners to practice and perfect their abilities in a safe and controlled setting. Haptic feedback may allow students to experience a realistic simulation of surgical operations by giving them with a feeling of touch, helping them to gain the essential motor skills and confidence in real-world surgical scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project aims to achieve the following objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Improved learning experience: the multi-modal framework seeks to deliver a more immersive and realistic learning experience, which may result in better learning outcomes and skill development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Hands-on experience: the project aspires to create a safe and realistic setting for surgical trainees to engage in hands-on surgical procedures, which may be especially useful for trainees who have restricted access to surgical procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Multi-modal feedback: the framework seeks to deliver multi-modal feedback, allowing trainees to get performance feedback in visual, aural, and tactile modes. \u2013 Increased skill retention: the project intends to improve surgical skill retention by offering a multi-modal learning environment that may aid in memory consolidation and retrieval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a concrete result, the project aims to create an open-access resource for surgical trainees, educators, and researchers. To facilitate the application of the multi-modal framework in surgical education, the resource will comprise instructional films, vinteractive modules, and other educational resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In particular, the following concrete results will be delivered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Development of compendium on applying immersive
