[Hidden-tech] Trauma Doctor Interested in Augmented Reality?

[Michael White]

I was wondering if anyone out there might know (or be?) a trauma doctor
interested in consulting on an AR project we are working on for the
Department of Defense?  The project can be summarized as follows:

Inexpensive Augmented Reality (AR) has already been demonstrated using
commercial smart phones that can overlay registered 3D graphics on the
image of physical objects, such as an Audi car dashboard, or GE turbine
engine.  In the realms of emergency medical care and medical training, this
same technology has the potential to accurately apply graphical anatomical
overlays on the image of a 3D surface linked to the orientation of either
training models or standardized patients, and thereby enhance the
understanding of physiological landmarks and their underlying anatomy.
This would likely require both a dedicated smartphone app and specialized
fiducial markers that can be attached or applied to a standardized patient,
part task trainers, or full body mannequin simulation systems to create a
dynamic, registered, 3D AR scene.  Additionally, real-time graphics could
enable dynamic models where fiducial markers change their relative position
and orientation in space, such as joint movement.  In the long run, such a
system could be expanded to include snap-shot imaging of physiology,
educational teacher/student modes, “x-ray” modes imaging through layers of
graphical tissue,
​AR headsets, ​
simulated trauma models, and extension to dense graphical layer data
encompassing the entirety of human anatomy.

​Thanks for any help!
