This paper explores the possibilities of designing AR interfaces to be used during laparoscopy surgery. It suggests that the laparoscopic video be displayed on AR headsets and that surgeons can consult preoperative image data on that display. Interaction with these elements is necessary, and no patterns exist to design them. Thus the paper proposes a head-gaze and clicker approach that is effective and minimalist. Finally, a prototype is presented, and an evaluation protocol is briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
