A Tangible Interface for Augmented Reality Visualisation in 4D Echocardíography lmaging of the Left Ventricle of the Heart (original) (raw)

ln this work we repari a Tangible Augmented Reality system that can be applied to interactive visualization scenarios in lhe cardiology medical fie/d, such as in the teaching of medical techniques or in lhe recognition of organs. Moreover in can be usedfor a more detailed and natural interaction with virtual models of organs or other physiological stnictures of lhe human body. The system provides lhe means for a user lo naturally inleract with an augmented version of the previously referred models. The interaction wilh this models is made through lhe use of a totally sensor-less Tangible Interface, designated Magic Examiner, which aids lhe inleraction and visualization tasks in lhe augmented environment.
