Scopis Introduces Microsoft HoloLens for Open and Minimally-Invasive Spine Surgery
Scopis launched a Holographic Navigation Platform for use in surgery using the Microsoft Hololens. As Scopis is claiming, the Company has „developed this platform to offer higher precision and speed to surgeons, and better outcomes to patients undergoing open and minimally-invasive spinal procedures“. Their target application is planning of the positioning and alignment of pedicle screws during multiple vertebrae fixation surgeries, for example.
“Scopis’ holographic solution has the potential to make spine surgery more effective, safe, and precise,” said Professor Christian Woiciechowsky, Chief of the Spinal Surgery Clinic at Vivantes Humboldt Hospital in Berlin. “Integrating mixed-reality tools into surgery is a huge technological advancement toward enhancing a surgeon’s vision and may provide greater benefits to patients.”
MedicalAR Mirror at Body Works Exhibition of Carnegie Science Center
I’m very happy that one of my projects, the MedicalAR Mirror, has become part of the fantastic exhibition „Body Works“ at Carnegie Science Center. Here is a video report about the exhibition with a small part showing also the Augmented Reality mirror (~ sec 50).

Human Cell Visualization with Augmented Reality
Exploring microscopic worlds is fascinating by its own. But when things become interactive and additional information is presented at the right place the learning experience becomes even better. Great Job Markus Santoso!
