“…This new technique could lead to a reduction in both surgical invasiveness and operative time. A further study by Rahul et al [42] showed the potential of merging CT and MRI images with patients for better anatomic details using the Virtual Augmented Surgical Intelligence system.…”

“…Augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality are well-known immersive technologies applied in different areas with different purposes. They have already been applied not only in games and entertainment, but also in industry (to train and display information to the operator) [3], healthcare (more specifically, in performing surgeries) [4], real state (layout scenarios) [5], and even grocery shopping (providing nutrition facts, health and wellness tips, and unhealthy selection warnings) [6].…”

Augmented and virtual reality have been experiencing rapid growth in recent years, but there is still no deep knowledge regarding their capabilities and in what fields they could be explored. In that sense, this paper presents a study on the accuracy and repeatability of Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 (augmented reality device) and HTC Vive (virtual reality device) using an OptiTrack system as ground truth. For the HoloLens 2, the method used was hand tracking, whereas, in HTC Vive, the object tracked was the system’s hand controller. A series of tests in different scenarios and situations were performed to explore what could influence the measures. The HTC Vive obtained results in the millimeter range, while the HoloLens 2 revealed not very accurate measurements (around 2 cm). Although the difference can seem to be considerable, the fact that HoloLens 2 was tracking the user’s hand and not the system’s controller made a huge impact. The results are considered a significant step for the ongoing project of developing a human–robot interface by demonstrating an industrial robot using extended reality, which shows great potential to succeed based on our data.

Augmented and Virtual Reality have been experiencing a rapidly growth in recent years, but there is not still a deep knowledge on their capabilities and where they could be explored. In that sense, this paper presents a study on the accuracy and repeatability of the Microsoft's HoloLens 2 (Augmented Reality device) and HTC Vive (Virtual Reality device) using an OptiTrack system as ground truth. For the HoloLens 2, the method used was hand tracking, while in HTC Vive, the object tracked was the system's hand controller. A series of tests in different scenarios and situations were performed to explore what could influence the measures. The HTC Vive obtained results in the millimetre scale, while the HoloLens 2 revealed not so accurate measures (around 2 centimetres). Although the difference can seem to be considerable, the fact that HoloLens 2 was tracking the user's hand and not an inherit controller made a huge impact. The results were considered a significant step for the on going project of developing a human-robot interface to program by demonstration an industrial robot using Extended Reality, which shows great potential to succeed based on this data.
