Submitted an application for a Provisional Patent (US No. 62/639,130), with Cargill H. Alleyne, Jr., M.D. and Augusta University, entitled: “System and Method for Remote Augmented Reality Medical Guidance.” This technology allows 3D objects and images such as CT and MRI to be projected into the user’s field. It provides enhanced communication between a surgeon operating and a remote mentor providing feedback.
