(ANSA) - Pisa, February 18 - The world's first augmented
reality surgical operation has taken place in Bologna, the
university of Pisa said Tuesday.
The successful op at the Sant'Orsola Hospital in the Emilian
capital took place thanks to a special visor worn by the
surgeon, it said.
The visor was created thanks to the Vostars European project
led by the university of Pisa.
The cutting edge technology enabled the surgeon to access
essential information on the patient and to be guided in his
intervention without having to use an external monitor.
