Colorplate: Pre-surgical Cranial Implant Design using the PARISTM Prototype

Repairing severe human skull injuries requirescustomized cranial implants, and current visualizationresearch aims to develop a new approach to create theseimplants. Following pre-surgical design techniquespioneered at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)in 1996, researchers have developed an immersivecranial implant application incorporating haptic forcefeedback and augmented reality. The application runs onthe Personal Augmented Reality Immersive System(PARIS?), allowing the modeler to see clearly both hishands and the virtual workspace. The strengths ofmultiple software libraries are maximized to simplifydevelopment. This research lays the foundation toeventually replace the traditional modeling andevaluation processes.
