Abstract
An augmented reality system including: a physical anatomic model; a display unit via which a user is adapted to receive first and second optic feedbacks, the first optic feedback emanating from the physical anatomic model and passing through the display unit, and the second optic feedback emanating from the display unit and including a virtual anatomic model; a tracking system adapted to track a position and orientation of the display unit; and a computing device adapted to: receive a first signal from the tracking system relating to the position and orientation of the display unit, and send a second signal to cause the display unit to overlay the second optic feedback on the first optic feedback, the second signal being based on the first signal. In some embodiments, the second optic feedback further includes ancillary virtual graphics such as medical data, instructional steps, expert demonstrations, didactic content, and exigent circumstances.
