Abstract

Healthcare and medicine applications, which use motion tracking technology to support operators, effective address the problems of navigating in complex surgical spaces and smooth and flexible navigation of medical of instruments. This research focuses on the applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality systems. We explore the use of the Microsoft HoloLens 2 to facilitate and enhance medical procedures that use motion tracking technology. Test experiments were realized to evaluate the effectiveness of motion tracking in AR using the HoloLens 2 equipment. Based on the results and the experience gained during the tests, conclusions and future directions were formulated. The conducted tests showed that motion tracking based on optical see-through Head Mounted Display technology still requires improvements and research, before they can be used in healthcare and medical applications.
