Augmented Reality Applications

There are multiple aspects to consider when deciding upon the best method of filming a surgical procedure. A jib with a precision, remote controlled pan and tilt head is ideal; however, these systems are not only expensive, but also require the presence of a video operator and the inherent difficulty in maneuverability during surgery. Ease of use, simplicity, and usability of footage are therefore the main factors evaluated in previous papers. 2 Chen C. Lee K. Shen Y. Simple method to record high-quality surgical videos.
