“…The other two core components are the registration of the virtual environment with real space, and the display technology to combine the virtual and real environment, respectively. In clinical use, the overlaid images can be displayed on many surfaces: monitors, 213 – 216 optics (i.e., microscope), 50 – 52 , 57 , 63 , 199 , 205 , 217 , 218 head-mounted devices (i.e., smart glasses), 219 – 222 semitransparent surfaces, 223 – 225 and the patient. 207 , 226 – 228 Using AR with a surgical microscope facilitates navigation with multiple magnifications and would not require additional AR system cost since surgical microscopes are available in most modern operating rooms.…”
