Using augmented reality in the operating theatre could help surgeons to improve the outcome of reconstructive surgery for patients.
In a series of procedures carried out by a team at Imperial College London at St Mary's Hospital, researchers have shown for the first time how surgeons can use Microsoft HoloLens headsets while operating on patients undergoing reconstructive lower limb surgery.
The HoloLens is a self-contained computer headset that immerses the wearer in 'mixed reality', enabling them to interact with 'holograms' - computer-generated objects made visible through the visor. In the UK, headsets are currently only available for developers.
Augmented Reality Helps Surgeons to 'See Through' Tissue and Reconnect Blood Vessels
This is actually kind of cool.
