Abstract

The invention describes augmented reality glasses (1) for medical applications configured to be worn by a user, comprising a frame (15) that supports a glasses lens (2a, 2b), wherein the frame (15) comprises an RGB lighting system comprising RGB-emitting devices (16a, 16b, 16c) configured to emit light beams (B1, B2, B3); first optical systems (17a, 17b, 17c) configured to collimate at least partially said beams (B1, B2, B3) into collimated beams (B1c; B2c; B3c); wherein the frame (15) further comprises a display (3) configured to be illuminated by the RGB lighting system (16) by means of the collimated beams (B1c; B2c; B3c); to receive first images (I) from a first processing unit (10); to emit the first images (I) as second images (IE1) towards the glasses lens (2a, 2b), wherein the lens (2a, 2b) is configured to reflect the second images (IE1) coming from the display (3) as images projected (IP) towards an internal zone (51) of the glasses corresponding to an eye position zone of the user who is wearing the glasses in a configuration for use of the glasses. The invention moreover describes an augmented reality system for medical applications on a user comprising the augmented re…
