Technical errors in a novel mixed reality navigation system for orthopedic implant surgery

Introduction <br/>An innovative, patient-specific, hip implant was developed for canine patients suffering from developmental hip dysplasia. In a first cohort study, the post-operative positions of the implants deviated with an average of 5 mm when compared to the pre-operatively planned positions. A novel augmented reality (AR) based intra...

Using a novel application for Mixed Reality navigated orthopaedic implant placement: a pilot study

Introduction<br/>Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) can be used for surgical navigation to execute the pre-operative plan. HoloMA is a novel AR/MR application which can guide the user to place surgical instruments on the planned location within the patient. In this pilot study, the AR/MR-guidance of HoloMA was used to place...

Effect of Relocated Thermal and Pressure Stimuli on Vibrotactile Sensitivity

Relocated haptic feedback from the fingertip to the proximal phalanx can alter the perception of physical interactions by simultaneously displaying relocated multimodal tactile cues. However, how these relocated tactile cues alter the vibrotactile sensitivity of the fingertip remains unclear. This two-site stimulation study employs a...

ARchive: elevating the museum archive experience through the power of Augmented Reality

Museums are places where the objects displayed are on a pedestal, often quite literally. These objects are found to be of such importance to be selected and displayed for thousands of people, tourists or purists, to see. <br/>This experience of visiting an institution, viewing an almost sacred object you cannot touch, and reading the...

The effects of situated visualized telepresence on task performance in gesture-based teleoperation

This paper introduces a method for gesture-based teleoperation where the human operator can virtually exist within the remote environment using mixed reality. The proposed method visually mixes the operator’s body with their perception of the remote environment, so that the operator is virtually present at the remote site. The idea is the that...

Mixed reality: the next step in critical emergency calls?

Unfortunately, accidents and emergencies happen every day. Today, emergency services only rely on auditory information from the caller; to dispatch the right tools and instruct the caller. Imagine if the dispatcher gets extra visual information and sensors to their disposal. Or that the caller receives immersive, self-evident instructions right...

Interaction design explorations of mixed reality

This project is a research project in cooperation with UNITiD, with an intention of exploring the guidelines of MR interaction design.<br/><br/>With in the project, MR(Mixed Reality) refers to a digital overlay on the real world, with the virtual content anchored in and interactive with the realistic objects. As it is a newly published...

A mobile platform for digital storytelling

900.000 visitors go to Schiphol every year to see and experience this man-made marvel. These visitors do not come to the airport to travel nor to pick up or say goodbye to friends and relatives. These visitors are solely there to have a nice day out; do some shopping, look at the airplanes and get something to eat. Schiphol wishes to provide a...
