Knowledge Transfer grant Awarded

The Medical Graphics group has been awarded £47,000 by the Knowledge Transfer Grant Fund for the project IPoP - Image Projection onto Patients. IPoP is an augmented reality system that will provide intuitive access to patient data such as anatomy or other assistive information (e.g. needle trajectory) during an intervention. The clinician will not wear cumbersome head equipment or need to move away from the patient to look at monitors. This feasibility project is focussed on spinal navigation and the overall design will be based on a user requirements gathering exercise with subject matter experts.
