Intraoperative augmented reality: the surgeons view.
Augmented Reality (AR) is a promising tool for intraoperative visualization. Two different AR systems, one projector based, one based on see-through glasses were used on patients. The task was the transfer of preoperative planning into the intraoperative reality, or the visualization of space occupying lesions, respectively. The intraoperative application of both systems is discussed from the surgeons point of view.
