Augmented Reality for Healthcare
summary
Uses real-time merged reality to let a remote expert “reach in” with virtual hands over live OR video; patents filed 2006–07 cover that interaction. Deployed in neurosurgery and arthroscopy, originally via Google Glass but limited by battery, camera angle and hospital Wi‑Fi, so the system migrates to iPad/phone and drops the bulky base station. Platform has 10,000+ users, enables Atlanta‑to‑Birmingham case support, international telemedicine, and shows clear tradeoffs between novelty and practical constraints.
