Advanced surgical navigation system using augmented reality technology

Camera Based Navigation System with Augmented Reality

Nowadays smart mobile devices have enough processing power, memory, storage and always connected wireless communication bandwidth that makes them available for any type of application. Augmented reality (AR) proposes a new type of applications that tries to enhance the real world by superimposing or combining virtual objects or computer generated information with it. In this paper we present a ...

A QR Code-based Indoor Navigation System Using Augmented Reality

AR-Navi: An In-Vehicle Navigation System Using Video-Based Augmented Reality Technology

In this paper we propose AR-Navi, an in-vehicle navigation system that uses video-based augmented reality technology. AR-Navi includes an invehicle camera, which captures real-time video, and displays the guidance which overlays the video display. To solve several problems that arise when real-time video is used, we propose registration adjustment based on recognizing crosswalks and filtering i...

Surgical Navigation Technology Based on Augmented Reality and Integrated 3D Intraoperative Imaging

STUDY DESIGN A cadaveric laboratory study. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and accuracy of thoracic pedicle screw placement using augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Recent advances in spinal navigation have shown improved accuracy in lumbosacral pedicle screw placement but limited benefits in the thoracic spine. 3D intraope...

Augmented Learning Environment using Mixed Reality Technology

This paper describes an augmented learning environment using mixed reality technology. Mixed reality is similar to virtual reality technology that combines interactive three-dimensional computer graphics with the real world. As a result, giving rise to the possibility of expanding the functions of traditional media. The purpose of this study is to propose the augmented learning environment. The...
