Abstract
Image Overlay is a computer display technique which superimposes computer images over the user's direct view of the real world. The images are transformed in real-time so they appear to the user to be an integral part of the surrounding environment. By using Image Overlay with three-dimensional medical images such as CT reconstructions, a surgeon can visualize the data 'in-vivo', exactly positioned within the patient's anatomy, and potentially enhance the surgeon's ability to perform a complex procedure. This paper describes prototype Image Overlay systems and initial experimental results from those systems.Entities:
