CATE
Computer Aided Tissue Engineering or CATE is a form of specialised Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacture which deals specifically with biological systems and biological components. It is highly interdisciplinary, basically focussed around three dimensional tissue creation, and the design of these tissues to then interface seamlessly with both existing organic tissues and machined components.
It is a field which lends itself extremely well to the use of virtual reality systems in the design of these components for all of the above reasons. In addition, CASE is an absolutely essential tool in the creation of artificial organs, orthopaedic implants, and biological chips. This of course in turn makes it an essential tool to create interfaces ever more precisely capable of interfacing seamlessly with an organic body, in turn making synthetic environment interfaces ever more precise and powerful.
