Immersive, Interactive and Contextual In-Situ Visualization for Medical Applications
Christoph Bichlmeier · 2010
The present work addresses the Human Computer Interface Design (HCID) of Medical Augmented Reality (AR) systems, allowing for interactive in-situ visualization. In particular, this thesis aims at two major challenges to adapt a 3D user interface (UI) to the needs of its medical target applications. These challenges are the seamless composition of virtual and real objects and the interaction with them in an AR environment. The proposed solutions are capable of enhancing the user's immersion into the AR scene in order to take full advantage of this technology.
