Description

The ability of field medics and field surgeons to be able to get immediate consultation from an expert surgeon may be the critical difference in the survival and more positive longer-term recovery of a wounded warfighter. Being able to do this in an Augmented-to-Virtual Reality space would set this collaboration experience to an even higher level. This 3D collaborative space would provide a spatial calibration of the physical and virtual realities to allow the Novice surgeon to work on the physical body within an augmented reality alongside an Expert surgeon’s avatar with a virtual reproduction of the patient’s injury in his virtual reality.

The Virtual Augmented Distributed Engagement Reality (VADER) is an AR-VR Remote Telementoring/Telemedicine application that was implemented by SOLUTE for a medical organization in San Diego and is part of their operations center showcase offerings highlighting the latest leading-edge medical technologies.
