Scientists from Bauman Moscow State Technical University are working on creating the first domestic augmented reality glasses for surgeons. Upon project completion, the device will allow visualization of bones and soft tissues as well as tumors, increasing the precision and speed of operations, reports "Izvestia". Specialists state that almost all similar medical projects operate on foreign components, with no fully Russian solutions in this field. "Augmented reality allows, based on MRI or CT data of the patient, to construct a three-dimensional model, visualizing not only bone structures but also soft tissues, benign and malignant tumors. The optical module – a display worn on the head – forms virtual images and is responsible for image quality. The main element of this system is a waveguide only a few millimeters thick. Currently, work is underway in the laboratory to create an independent augmented reality system for surgeons, which will allow them to work with three-dimensional models during operations. Augmented reality devices promise to become useful in fields where complex decisions need to be made quickly.
