Applications of Head-Mounted Displays and Smart Glasses in Vascular Surgery.

Description

Advances in virtual, augmented and mixed reality have led to the development of wearable technologies including head mounted displays (HMD) and smart glasses. While there is a growing interest on their potential applications in health, only a few studies have addressed so far their use in vascular surgery. The aim of this review was to summarize the fundamental notions associated with these technologies and to discuss potential applications and current limits for their use in vascular surgery.
