Developing a New Medical Augmented Reality System.

Abstract

Augmented reality is a technique for combining supplementary imagery such that it appears as part of the scene and can be used for guidance, training, and locational aids. In the medical domain, augmented reality can be used to combine medical imagery to the physician's view of a patient to help the physician establish a direct relation between the imagery and the patient. This project report will examine medical augmented reality systems for use in a surgical setting. Four areas will be examined: (1) applications for augmented reality system in medicine, (2) survey of basic technologies used or building augmented reality systems, (3) the development of a new augmented reality system, and (4) testing and alidating an augmented reality system for clinical use. The goal of this project report is to develop a new design of a edical augmented reality system; the design will draw upon a number of different technologies in an attempt to build a more practical and capable system.
