Project: "VesARlius"
| "VesARlius" is a novel AR system for collaborative and interactive anatomy learning in large groups of co-located students. The "HoloLens" application provides students with the possibility to explore a virtual 3D model of the human body, including annotated structures and multimodal section images such as CT and MRI. Additionally, we integrated a set of functionalities specifically aimed at facilitating the collaboration between students during joint learning sessions. Students have the ability to join synchronized rooms where all users inside such rooms work on the same virtual 3D model. Furthermore, students can place colored pins on the surface of 3D structures and take the role of a "presenter" and guide the attention of other students using a virtual laser pointer. In collaboration with the chair for vegetative anatomy of the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, we are currently in the process of integrating "VesARlius" into the curriculum during dedicated tutorial sessions for first-year medical students. For further details on the system, please contact me: felix.bork@tum.de |
Project: "Magic Mirror"
| The "Magic Mirror" is a screen-based Augmented Reality system that allows users to obtain a virtual view inside their own body. By combining techniques such as skeleton tracking, advanced perceptual visualization, and gesture-controlled user interaction, the "Magic Mirror" creates an immersive Augmented Reality experience using simply a Microsoft Kinect camera and a display device. Potential applications of the "Magic Mirror" include interactive anatomy & radiology education, rehabilitation, as well as patient education and information. We are currently conducting studies for exploring the potential of the Magic Mirror in these areas. Please refer to our publications for further details. Previous work on the "Magic Mirror" can be found on http://www.mirracle.de. For further details on the project, please contact me: felix.bork@tum.de |

Magic Mirror @ ARD - W Wie Wissen: The Magic Mirror was recently featured in the ARD documentary "W - Wie Wissen". "In medicine, novel techniques such as Augmented Reality have to pass many tests and trials before they can be applied to humans. But they are already using this technology to train medical students. The Munich University Hospital is using a software program developed by researchers led by Professor Navab. Anatomy lessons on the Magic Mirror provide completely new insights into the human body. Students can see anatomical structures on their own body, improving their spatial understanding by seeing cross sectional images augmented onto their own bodies".

Magic Mirror @ MSRM Opening Event: We are thrilled to announce that the Magic Mirror will be part of the Human Digital Twin exhibition at the Munich School for Robotics and Machine Intelligence opening event on October 26th, 2018, at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany. The interdisciplinary Human Digital Twin (HDT) focus group is committed to initiating medical innovation by building up comprehensive expertise, technology and infrastructure toward the development of a digital human. Specifically, we aim to drive the development of new digital technologies for a variety of medical therapies and applications, such as surgery and telemedicine, which will enable comprehensive multi-scale biomonitoring, more intuitive and real-time representations of medical imaging, as well as improved diagnostics and prevention via multi-modal human-machine interfaces. By integrating vast amounts of data from heterogenous sensor networks into condensed outputs, HDT aims to improve patient outcomes and to change the interface of medical technology in the long term.

Magic Mirror @ TED x TUM: The Magic Mirror was showcased live during Prof. Nassir Navab's TED-talk at the TED x TUM Entelechy event. Why is it that we have all the information we need at our fingertips, but the surgeon operating on us is limited to using their human senses? Nassir Navab's mission is to introduce Augmented Reality into the surgery room, so that surgeons can see relevant data such as X-Ray or MRI as part of their reality on the operating table. This eye-opening talk includes an interesting live demo and shows us cutting-edge technology for the surgery of the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. A video of the talk can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-QoDqBMe2k |
