The first presentation entitled "Augmented Reality Guidance System for Spine Surgery: Comparison of Screw Placement Accuracy using Preoperative CT vs lntraoperative 3D Spin" reported for the novel OnPoint Augmented Reality Spine System "PE (positional error) and AE (angular error) with the novel 4k resolution AR system with stereoscopic targeting using either intraoperative or preoperative CT compare favorably to data published for existing navigation, robotic and AR systems.

Key Points: 
  • The first presentation entitled "Augmented Reality Guidance System for Spine Surgery: Comparison of Screw Placement Accuracy using Preoperative CT vs lntraoperative 3D Spin" reported for the novel OnPoint Augmented Reality Spine System "PE (positional error) and AE (angular error) with the novel 4k resolution AR system with stereoscopic targeting using either intraoperative or preoperative CT compare favorably to data published for existing navigation, robotic and AR systems.
  • The second presentation entitled "Accuracy of an Augmented Reality Spine Surgery Guidance System with Stereoscopic Targeting Head Mounted Display Compared to Standard Computer Navigation, Robotic Systems and Existing AR Systems" reported an improvement in accuracy for the novel OnPoint Augmented Reality Spine System for positional error (PE) and angular error (AE) exceeding that of major existing navigation, robotic and augmented reality systems between 2X - 5X, with the differences being statistically highly significant across all comparisons.
  • The investigators concluded "PE and AE for placing pedicle screws are statistically significantly smaller for the novel AIm-AR system compared to existing navigation, robotic, and AR systems studied.
  • It is not only more accurate, but much lighter than existing AR systems I have used.
