Title:


    Scope+: A Stereoscopic Video See-Through Augmented Reality Microscope

Description:


    During the usage of conventional stereo microscope, repetitive head movement are often inevitable for the users to retrieve information away from the microscope. Moreover, risks of surgeons loosing focus and increasing fatigue could also arise during microsurgeries. Therefore, Scope+, a stereoscopic video see-through augmented reality system was created not only to solve the problems mentioned above, but also to improve users stereo microscopic experience.
