Visual Spinal
Can be used for demos concerning
- depth perception
- virtual window
- virtual mirror (old version)
Abstract and Screenshots
This demo shows direct and indirect volume rendering of the spinal column inside a plastic thorax model. It introduces a virtual window to improve depth perception (virtual objects can only be presented superimposed onto real parts of the image.) and the first version of the hand-held virtual mirror.
Hardware configuration
RAMP, ART (christoph)
Tracking targets
- Remote mouse pointer: Navigation of the Mirror
- Long surgical instrument (is augmented)
- Thorax model with 9 markers
- RAMP arc
User Guide (VisualSpinal_ready_to_run.xml)
To start the demo:
- Start ART cameras and dtrack (christoph)
- Start RAMP tracker
- Start VisualSpinal_ready_to_run.xml (VisualSpinal.xml shows shadows created by the tracked flashlight as the virtual light source)
- Press V,v to load the Data (Spinal column) for volume rendering and calculation of marker position.
- Press N,n to load surface models of skin and spinal column
Further keyboard functions when the demo is running and all data is loaded:
- Press R,r to choose render mode: surface models or volume rendering
- Press H,h to turn off/on skin
- Press B,b to turn off/on bones
- Press J,j to draw surface model of spinal column transparent
Mirror
- Press M,m to turn off/on the mirror (guided by the remote mouse pointer, which has to be tracked by ART)
- Press W,w to fix mirror position
Window
- Press X,x to present the window frame, which can be guided by head movement (Surface model of the skin has to be visualized)
- Press D,d when window frame is green and the window is at the right position (Size of the window can be manipulated by moving the mouse)
Light
- Press L,l to turn off/on fixed light source 1.
- Press Q,q to turn off/on head mounted light source 2.
Problems, Limitations, and Potential Error Sources
Rather show surface models than volume rendering as it is much slower.
Potential Errors
- You did not turn on RAMP or ART (christoph)
- RAMP arc cannot be seen by the ART cameras because it is occluded by the thorax.
- If displays of the HMD don't show anything (blue) turn off and on again the displays (hindmost device in the RAMP box).
