Teeside University’s Computer Graphics and Visualization department has just received a grant for £123,000 to collaborate with Chinese researchers to solve the problems of using Augmented Reality visualizations in advanced surgery.
Dr. Wen Tang of Teesside University said: “The opportunities and applications for Augmented Reality are vast, but at the moment it is still in the territory of research and development.
“However, we’re really hopeful that this collaboration will help bring it out of the laboratory and into the real world where it could be used to instruct surgeons and simulate a range of training environments where the consequences of a mistake are huge.”
