Smart [[haptic]] [[glove]]s are a new technology emerging in [[Virtual Reality]] (VR) with a promise to enhance sensory feedback in VR. 
Boutin et al. presents one of the first attempts to explore its application to [[neurosurgical training]] using VR-based surgery [[simulator]]s. 
They developed and evaluated a surgical simulator for [[External Ventricular Drain]] [[Placement]] (EVD), a common procedure in the field of neurosurgery. [[Haptic glove]]s are used in combination with a VR environment to augment the experience of [[burr hole]] [[placement]], and flexible [[catheter]] manipulation. The simulator was integrated into the training curriculum at the [[2022]] Canadian Neurosurgery Rookie Bootcamp. Thirty [[neurosurgery resident]]s used the [[simulator]] where objective performance metrics and subjective experience scores were acquired. They provided the details of the simulator development, as well as the user study results and draw conclusions on the benefits added by the haptic gloves and future directions
