Holographic model of craniosynostosis for HoloLens.

PURPOSE: To develop a holographic skull model of a deformity resulting from craniosynostosis for the HoloLens.

METHODS

The methodology for product creation and prototyping was the design thinking structured with the double diamond. A desk survey was conducted with a literature review and an anteriority search. Based on the desk survey results, brainstorming was performed to develop solutions to improve the surgeon's performance in craniosynostosis using mixed reality.

RESULTS

Reports or scientific articles relating mixed reality use to craniosynostosis were not found in search engines or bibliography databases. A surgeon's performance potential improvement was observed using mixed reality as an auxiliary tool in craniosynostosis surgery. A craniosynostosis skull hologram was developed in mixed reality, with interactivity commands controlled by gestures, facilitating a three-dimensional spatial understanding of cranial anatomy.

CONCLUSION

A holographic skull model with a deformity resulting from craniosynostosis was developed for the HoloLens.
