Immersive Augmented Reality Surgical Navigation
VisAR is an augmented reality surgical navigation system with FDA 510(k) clearance for intraoperative spinal procedures. It brings patient imaging directly into the surgeon’s field of view as two-dimensional and three-dimensional overlays, aligned with patient anatomy through a wearable optical headset.
Designed for use in the operating room, VisAR delivers real-time visualization of anatomical structures and planned trajectories to support surgical planning and intraoperative guidance. Under validated conditions, the system has demonstrated pedicle screw placement, both open and MIS, is >96% accuracy.
By combining advanced visualization with a streamlined, portable form factor, VisAR enhances surgical workflow while maintaining the surgeon’s control and clinical judgment at every step.
Key Features
Continuous Registration
Optical registration tags and trackers are used to register images to a patient and patented technology provides continuous registration and sub-millimeter accuracy during surgery.
Pre-operative Planning
Allows for pre-operative planning, tracker and tag placement, virtual landmark registration, and instrument planning, including advanced image processing and manipulation.
QR code Case Retrieval
Image datalink with series, annotations, logins, users, URLs, and passwords encrypted into a QR code that instantly retrieves the patient case for hands-free operation.
Navigational Views
Navigational views shows 2D sagittal, coronal, and axial views. VisAR reference display shows the actual instrument path vs. planned trajectory.
Integrated Workflows
Surgeons have different workflow needs. VisAR provides custom workflows. A single command can initiate workflows with visual and verbal instructions to assist the surgeon.
Ultrasound Navigation
VisAR can integrate with ultrasound allowing a surgeon to fuse a previously taken CT with real-time ultrasound in an operating room environment.
Immersive Viewing
VisAR's patented immersive viewing allows the surgeons to focus on the patient, not a monitor. Using real-time 3D reconstruction and segmentation helps increase accuracy.

X-Ray Registration
VisAR's continual progress in pioneering AR surgical guidance has allowed multiple modalities such as X-ray to register the images directly on the patient.

VisAR was used to place a catheter between T5 and T6 and it was so easy the anesthesiologist was doubtful it went in correctly. It did.
