“…It can project any image-such as navigation or neuromonitoring-directly in front of the surgeon's eyes (in other words, to his glasses), eliminating the need to look away from the surgical site. 61 Project Tango is software capable of 3D visuospatial scanning and reconstruction. This can be used to view the surgical area of interest and display useful AR imagery, such as tumor overlays, pedicle screw trajectories, or nearby vital anatomy.…”

Surgical robots have captured the interest—if not the widespread acceptance—of spinal neurosurgeons. But successful innovation, scientific or commercial, requires the majority to adopt a new practice. “Faster, better, cheaper” products should in theory conquer the market, but often fail. The psychology of change is complex, and the “follow the leader” mentality, common in the field today, lends little trust to the process of disseminating new technology. Beyond product quality, timing has proven to be a key factor in the inception, design, and execution of new technologies. Although the first robotic surgery was performed in 1985, scant progress was seen until the era of minimally invasive surgery. This movement increased neurosurgeons’ dependence on navigation and fluoroscopy, intensifying the drive for enhanced precision. Outside the field of medicine, various technology companies have made great progress in popularizing co-robots (“cobots”), augmented reality, and processor chips. This has helped to ease practicing surgeons into familiarity with and acceptance of these technologies. The adoption among neurosurgeons in training is a “follow the leader” phenomenon, wherein new surgeons tend to adopt the technology used during residency. In neurosurgery today, robots are limited to computers functioning between the surgeon and patient. Their functions are confined to establishing a trajectory for navigation, with task execution solely in the surgeon’s hands. In this review, the authors discuss significant untapped technologies waiting to be used for more meaningful applications. They explore the history and current manifestations of various modern technologies, and project what innovations may lie ahead.

“…demonstrated that fewer head movements were required when Google Glass was used while performing ultrasound‐guided central line placement. Yoon et al . performed 3‐dimensional (3D) image‐guided spine instrumentation in 10 patients with the assistance of a wearable head‐up display, which resulted in less time spent placing pedicle screws as well as an overall improved operative experience for the surgeon based on post‐operative surveys.…”

“…1,2 Our group previously demonstrated use of this novel device in transferring neuronavigation images onto head-up displays for procedures including image-guided pedicle screw placement, ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement, and supratentorial meningioma resection. [3][4][5] In all cases, the surgeons wore Google Glass (X, Mountain View, California) to view navigation images side-by-side while operating. Furthermore, head-up displays eliminated the need for surgeons to look away from the surgical field and allowed the surgeon to continue directing his attention to the primary task.…”
