Proof of Concept: Wearable Augmented Reality Video See-Through Display for Neuro-Endoscopy

In mini-invasive surgery and in endoscopic procedures, the surgeon operates without a direct visualization of the patient’s anatomy. In image-guided surgery, solutions based on wearable augmented reality (AR) represent the most promising ones. The authors describe the characteristics that an ideal Head Mounted Display (HMD) must have to guarantee safety and accuracy in AR-guided neurosurgical interventions and design the ideal virtual content for guiding crucial task in neuro endoscopic surgery. The selected sequence of AR content to obtain an effective guidance during surgery is tested in a Microsoft Hololens based app
