Mixed Reality Interactive Cardiac Anatomy & Pathology Explorer
A mixed reality spatial application rendering volumetric, beating 3D human heart models with interactive pathology slicing and surgical path planning.
Project Overview
Transforming complex 2D CT/MRI DICOM scans into real-time volumetric mixed reality holograms. Students and medical trainees can manipulate 3D anatomical structures in physical room space, observe blood hemodynamics, and simulate surgical incisions with bimanual hand gestures.
Problem Statement
Traditional flat medical atlases fail to communicate complex 3D cardiac chamber depth, spatial spatial orientation, and dynamic valve mechanics, leading to steep learning curves.
Engineered Solution
A passthrough-enabled MR application utilizing spatial anchors and custom volumetric shaders to project interactive 4D cardiac dynamics directly onto student workbenches.
