Common Features
Augmented Reality (AR)
AR devices overlay visual information onto the real world, providing support for navigation, visualization, and medical guidance.
Virtual and mixed Reality (VR)
VR systems such as the Meta Quest 2 and 3 create fully immersive environments for simulation and training. With its mixed-reality features, the Meta Quest 3 can also be used for certain AR applications, adding flexibility for experimental setups.
Other
Beyond AR and VR, systems such as the Meta Aria can capture real-world data directly from the surgeon’s perspective. This enables experiments that require first-person recordings for analysis, validation, or training.
Tracking systems
High-precision optical trackers that provide sub-millimetric accuracy for registering devices, tools, and anatomy. They are used for developing and validating novel navigation protocols.
RGB-D Cameras
Depth cameras combine RGB and depth sensing to enable motion analysis, real-time robotic control, and real-time 3D reconstruction. They are widely used for spatial mapping and understanding the surgical environment.
RGB cameras
Lightweight RGB cameras such as GoPro capture flexible, high-frame-rate video for dynamic OR views and procedure analysis.
DSLRs
High-resolution DSLRs such as Sony Alpha 7R deliver high-resolution images for dataset generation and detailed 3D reconstruction.
