The LEAP™ Gesture Interface Device and Take-Home Laparoscopic Simulators: A Study of Construct and Concurrent Validity.

Aim: To assess the potential of the LEAP infrared motion tracking device to map laparoscopic instrument movement in a simulated environment. Simulator training is optimised when augmented by objective performance feedback. We explore the potential LEAP has to provide this in a way compatible with affordable take-home simulators.
