VisAR Augmented Reality Surgical Guidance System Using Low-Cost Off-the-Shelf HoloLens 2 Hardware Achieves Remarkable Results in Spine Surgery
The article presents accuracy data for open and minimally invasive pedicle screw navigation achieved by its next generation augmented reality (AR) surgical guidance technology, VisAR.
- The article presents accuracy data for open and minimally invasive pedicle screw navigation achieved by its next generation augmented reality (AR) surgical guidance technology, VisAR.
- The VisAR system translates the patient's radiologic imaging data into a 3D hologram which is precisely superimposed on the patient by hologram-to-patient optical code alignment.
- The system is an off-the-shelf HoloLens 2 (Microsoft) AR visor, which uses transformative software developed by Novarad for precision guided open and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).
- VisAR responds to voice commands for smooth operational control and to maintain OR sterility, with a nominal OR footprint.
