Assisting Vascular Surgery with Smartphone Augmented Reality

Smartphone Sensor Reliability for Augmented Reality Applications

With increasing reliance on the location and orientation sensors in smartphones for not only augmented reality applications, but also for meeting government-mandated emergency response requirements, the reliability of these sensors is a matter of great importance. Previous studies measure the accuracy of the location sensing, typically GPS, in handheld devices including smartphones, but few stu...

Guidelines for Implementing Augmented Reality Procedures in Assisting Assembly Operations

The use of Augmented Reality (AR) in training or assisting operators during an assembly task can be considered an innovative and efficient method in terms of time saving, error reduction, and accuracy improvement. Nevertheless, the implementation of an AR-based application is quite difficult, requiring to take into account several factors. This paper provides a general procedure to follow for a...

Augmented Reality Assisted Sinus Surgery

In this paper, we propose an augmented reality (AR) assisted sinus surgery system, in which the surgical outcome is improved by providing a new way of visualization which embeds virtual environments into the real scene. Such an AR assisted system, with a preoperative CT scan registered and displayed throughout the surgery, would provide the surgeon visibility of the nearby structures surroundin...
