Exploring Affordances for AR in Laparoscopy

Human-Computer Interaction 2023-05-05 v1

Abstract

This paper explores the possibilities of designing AR interfaces to be used during laparoscopy surgery. It suggests that the laparoscopic video be displayed on AR headsets and that surgeons can consult preoperative image data on that display. Interaction with these elements is necessary, and no patterns exist to design them. Thus the paper proposes a head-gaze and clicker approach that is effective and minimalist. Finally, a prototype is presented, and an evaluation protocol is briefly discussed.
