The augmented reality is basically the union of virtual reality and real environment; through this technique it is possible to join together, in the visual field of the surgeon, the virtual contents and the surrounding reality.
In medecine and surgery this allows to view the anatomy, the pathology and the surgical plan we want to pursue on the patient as if we could see through skin, muscles and organ and bones below.
The augmented reality can be partly defined as the union of surgical navigation and virtual reality : in other words, this new technique allows to see the virtual reality directly on the patient.
Our team is studying the different uses of this technique in maxillo-facial surgery through helmets and glasses reproducing the augmented reality.
Our research collaborates with other universities and bio-medical companies.
