"Surgery planning in the Dextroscope"

The DextroscopeT technology is a precise and intuitive tool for the manipulation and visualization of volumetric data (in other words, digitized 3D objects).
The Dextroscope idea is to make interacting with computer-generated 3D
objects precise, intuitive, comfortable and affordable by overcoming the
mouse/keyboard/screen barrier, thus providing direct hand access to the hidden inside of any three-dimensional object.

Unlike conventional VR technologies, the Dextroscope user works seated, with both forearms positioned on armrests. Wearing stereoscopic glasses, the user looks into a mirror and perceives the virtual image within comfortable reach of both hands for precise hand-eye coordinated manipulation.

VizDexter 1.0 is the latest software release that runs on the Dextroscope. This provides:

·        loading of patient-specific data, either as DICOM 3.0 and image stacks

·        volume rendering & polygonal surfaces

·        multimodal fusion and registration

·        segmentation tools

·        voxel editing (drill, suction)

·        measurements of volume, surface and length

·        collaboration through the Dextrobeam, or remotely through network

The Dextroscope and VizDexter are products of Volume Interactions. For more information please visit:
