What is Augmented Reality Assisted Surgery Augmented reality-assisted surgery (ARAS) is a surgical tool utilizing technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a surgeon's view of the operative field, thus providing a composite view for the surgeon of the patient with a computer generated overlay enhancing the operative experience. It can be used for training, preparation for an operation, or performance of an operation. ARAS can be performed using a wide array of technology, including an optical head-mounted display (OHMD), such as the Google Glass XE 22.1 or Vuzix STAR 1200 XL and a digital overlay from robotic and laparoscopic surgery feeds. The technique has been primarily b...
