The advanced features of the HoloLens 2 include eye-tracking cameras, four environmental interpretive cameras, mixed reality capture, depth camera, see-through holographic lenses, 52-degree fields of view, a five-microphone array, advanced holographic resolution, and other features relevant to medical imaging applications, making it an ideal instrument for neurosurgical-purposed AR.

See-through holographic lenses, 2K 3:2 light engines, automatic pupillary distance calibration, holographic resolution of 2.3M total light points, holographic density is >2.5K radiants (light points per radian), 52-degree field of view (47 pixels per degree, 4 environmental understanding cameras, 1 depth camera 1-MP time of flight (TOF), 1 2MP photo/HD video camera, mixed reality capture 8-MP stills, 5 microphone array, 1 ambient light sensor, 2 eye-tracking IR cameras, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer.

Imaging data, from any modality, is annotated on the Novarad 3D+ pre-operative workstation to provide virtual annotations, including trajectory, depth, and entry site for accurate surgical site access in the OR.

This annotated data set is assigned a QR code by the pre-operative workstation. To open the case in the OR, simply view the printed QR code with the Opensight device. 

While you do not need to purchase your headset from Novarad, it is strongly recommended that you do so. Novarad will configure your headset and prepare it for immediate use with VisAR/Opensight.
