Title	:	*Augmented and Virtual Reality for Surgery Guidance: The IRCAD Point of View*

Abstract

In this presentation, we will present in a first part the activity of the IRCAD France center (Research Center against Abdominal and Digestive Cancer) along the last 12 years. In a second part, we will focus on the recent development of a new IRCAD center in Taiwan.
We will firstly review the main research works performed in the field of Virtual and Augmented Reality, then we will detail the problems we have encountered whilst trying to apply prototype technologies in the operating room. We will mainly share our experience on deformation issues. These experiments led us to revise our approach and think differently about the help that Augmented Reality can bring intra-operatively.
The second part of the presentation will be devoted to the new IRCAD center that has been built in Taiwan 2 years ago, and which has set up a medical imaging research team last year. I will firstly explain the purpose of this center in Taiwan and how the collaboration with the French center is performed thanks to efficient collaborative tools. Secondly, I will describe the works that has been performed during the first year on Ultrasound Simulation and marker tracking accuracy. Finally, I will quickly present the future projects we plan to work on.

Biography

Stephane Nicolau was born on 25th January 1978. In 2000, he obtained his engineer diploma of the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Physique de Strasbourg (ENSPS). He then furthered his academic studies and made a PhD at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis under the supervision of Nicholas Ayache, head of the ASCLEPIOS team (former EPIDAURE). He obtained his PhD in 2004 and joined the Virtual Reality team of the Institut de Recherche contre les Cancers de l'Appareil Digestif in Strasbourg (IRCAD) as a researcher. In 2009, he becomes in IRCAD TAIWAN the leader of the new research team in medical imaging. His main fields of interest include medical augmented reality, medical image processing, 3D modelling of anatomical deformations, calibration of vision systems and validation of medical guidance systems.
