SurgNavAR: An Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation Framework for Optical See-Through Head Mounted Displays
Augmented reality (AR) devices with head mounted displays (HMDs) facilitate the direct superimposition of 3D preoperative imaging data onto the patient during surgery. To use an HMD-AR device as a stand-alone surgical navigation system, the device should be able to locate the patient and surgical instruments, align preoperative imaging data with the patient, and visualize navigation data in real time during surgery. Whereas some of the technologies required for this are known, integration in such devices is cumbersome and requires specific knowledge and expertise, hampering scientific progress in this field. This work therefore aims to present and evaluate an integrated HMD-based AR surgi...
