The document describes image processing, rendering, registration, and mapping technologies, but does not mention or imply the use of AI or ML algorithms for these functions.
No
The device is intended for display, manipulation, and evaluation of medical images for pre-operative localization and planning. It is explicitly stated that "OpenSight is not designed as a primary tool for disease detection or diagnosis," and "OpenSight is intended simply as a guide."
No
OpenSight explicitly states: "OpenSight is not designed as a primary tool for disease detection or diagnosis." Its intended use is for displaying, manipulating, and evaluating digital images for preoperative localization and planning, assisting in understanding anatomy and pathology, and surgical training, not for making a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that OpenSight is a "combination of Microsoft HoloLens and Novarad's medical imaging software" and "uses the Microsoft HoloLens hardware and the Microsoft 10 Operating System as the platform on which this system runs." It also describes hardware components like infrared ranging cameras for surface geometry mapping. Therefore, it is not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, OpenSight is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that OpenSight is intended to "display, manipulate, and evaluate 2D, 3D, and 4D digital images acquired from CR, DX, CT, MR, and PT sources." It is used for "preoperative localization and pre-operative planning of surgical options" and to "support pre-operative analysis." These activities involve the examination of medical images derived from the patient's body to provide information for medical purposes.
- Device Description: The device description details how OpenSight processes and displays medical images (scanned images from different modalities) as 3D holograms. It uses software to manipulate and render these images, and provides tools for segmentation, registration, measurement, and annotation of anatomical structures and pathology.
- Relationship to IVD Activities: The core function of OpenSight is to process and present medical images for interpretation and analysis by healthcare professionals to aid in pre-operative planning and understanding of a patient's condition. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which includes devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. While OpenSight doesn't directly analyze a biological specimen in the traditional sense, the medical images it processes are considered "specimens" in the context of diagnostic imaging.
- Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (K170167 True 3D Viewer Software and K163622 LungVision System) are also medical imaging software/systems, which are typically classified as IVDs or medical devices that perform IVD functions.
While OpenSight is not intended for primary disease detection or diagnosis, its use in evaluating and analyzing medical images for pre-operative planning and understanding anatomy and pathology falls under the scope of IVD activities, as it provides information derived from the patient's body (via imaging) to inform medical decisions.

Device Description
OpenSight is the combination of Microsoft HoloLens and Novarad's medical imaging software to create threedimensional holograms of scanned images from different modalities including CR, DX, CT, MR, and PT. This combination of augmented reality glasses and imaging software allows the user to see and manipulate hologram images with the swipe of a finger.
OpenSight uses the HoloLens technology to register scanned images over the patient when user has OpenSight headset on and in use. This allows the user to both see the patient and through them, with dynamic holograms of the patient's internal anatomy. OpenSight tools/features include window level, segmentation and rendering, registration, motion correction, virtual tools, alignment, and the capability to measure distance and image intensity values, such as standardized uptake value. OpenSight displays measurement lines, and regions of interest. 3D images include but not limited to tumors, masses, appendices, heart, kidney, bladder, stomach, blood vessels, arteries, and nerves.
The OpenSight Augmented Reality system uses the Microsoft HoloLens hardware and the Microsoft 10 Operating System as the platform on which this system runs. The OpenSight technology is written specifically for this hardware. NovaPACS contributes to the process by creating annotations and providing the preoperative analysis of images that are fed to the OpenSight device.
The 3D holograms are created by a refractory system in the OpenSight device, using a combination of the Microsoft HoloLens hardware and the OpenSight technology for 3D image display and rendering. Images are actual visible rendered of the object in the OpenSight device. Images are streamed in a 2D format from the Novarad server via wireless communication. The communication is encrypted with 256 encryption.
Registration of the patient (reality) to another image data set such as MRI or CT (augmented reality) are performed by the OpenSight device which contains infrared ranging cameras which can map the surface geometry of an object creating a mesh of triangles conforming to whatever the object is. This can include the patient, the surrounding room, the table, etc. The resolution of the mesh is controlled by the device. For mapping a large object such as a room, a larger mesh would be utilized. Surface geometry mapping of a patient's anatomy utilizes the maximum resolution of the device while the user may walk around the object in a 360° circle mapping the object from many views in order to obtain the best localization in space.
The camera device from the OpenSight headset has ranging and localizing technology, which maps the surrounding environment, including the patient. It knows where objects are and mesh surface maps of these objects are created for determination of their 3D positioning. The 3D radiologic images are then rendered and surface shells of the patient's skin are matched to the augmented reality device when user has OpenSight headset on and in use. The advantage of this is if the patient moves this can be compensated for. The registration does not require expensive infrared tracking devices or other fiducials in order to perform registration. The anatomy and the correct patient will only register if there is a match of the data, thus diminishing the potentive use on the wrong patient with the wrong images.
The patient's anatomy can be displayed in 2D, 3D, or 4D mode. The OpenSight technology allows for virtual screens in space, which are manipulated by finger movement or from voice commands. These images are superimposed on the patient's anatomy and one can either scroll through the images or rotate three dimensionally. Because the holographic system has mapped the space of the room and patient, it "knows" where this is and therefore as one rotates around the patient or the anatomy in question, the images are automatically rotated with the device.
The actual visible rendering of the object in the OpenSight device (i.e. how fast can the hologram be updated as ones position relative to the patient changes) has no discernible time lag with the object rendering is in excess of 30 frames per second for standard image rendering). If one turns on advanced lighting and shadowing, cubic spine interpolation of the image and utilizes a large image dataset (in excess of 200 images) then there is a visible time lag between the holographic rendering and the projection on to the patient. See attached video (Motion.MOV) that demonstrates this. It is still less than a second under the worst-case scenario.
The rendering tools are derived from technology created in the NovaPACS system for allowing 3D tools, including simple image manipulation such as window/leveling as well as more advanced technologies of segmentation, rendering, registration and motion correction. Virtual tools as well as 3D annotations can be created and displayed in the holographic image. These might include lines, distance measurements, etc. They could also be volumetric measurements or outlines of tumors, anatomic structures, etc. The operating principles of these tools are similar to those with other 3D PACS devices, including technology that has already undergone 510K approval by Novarad Corporation.
The OpenSight Augmented Reality system is a device that allows the user to more quickly and more accurately define both anatomy and pathology by using mixed reality. One can see through this device the actual patient but also superimposed on this are holographic images of the patient's anatomy, which have been previously taken through MRI, CT, or other imaging techniques.
The following is a description of pre-operative use cases for OpenSight:
- . Ability to mark the appropriate entrance point, or angle, trajectory, and location for placement of a needle into the body, to extract a foreign body such as a piece of glass, to place a pedicle screw, etc. Being able to preoperatively identify the anatomy and expected trajectory for device insertion, could greatly aid in facilitating the speed and safety of procedures. Provided are images from three different preoperative interventions; a Percutaneous Discectomy, a Facet injection, and a Sacroiliac Joint. In each case, the OpenSight facilitates the positioning of the best trajectory for entrance into one of these structures.
- Ability to aid the operating physician to localize anatomy prior to intervention. This can be used as an aid to . augment, and correlate with the location of a patient's injury. For example, rib fractures can be difficult to localize in the operating room and frequently incisions will be larger than needed in order to plate a displaced rib fracture. Virtually all patients with acute appendicitis in the United States receive a CT scan prior to operative intervention for diagnostic purposes. With this technology, the location of the appendix could be identified and the surgeon would be able to see variations in the anatomy prior to making an incision in an area that may or may not have the appendix. Another example would be the location of masses, lymph nodes, or tumors that may be difficult to find due to body habitus or location. For example, the abilize a disc or vertebral body prior to operative intervention would save valuable surgical time and fluoroscopy.
- Ability to superimpose an anatomic atlas upon the patients' anatomy, allowing one to more readily identify structures that would either need to be treated or need to be avoided for a surgical procedure. This could be invaluable for example for a neurosurgeon to understand preoperatively, the best approach for cranial surgery. It could allow a head and neck surgeon to have a better understanding of the skull base in threedimensional detail. This internal visualization can be achieved without the surgeon ever making an incision on the patient. He/she of course can be guided by their best judgment, experience and training as to the ultimate approach and performance of any given procedure. OpenSight is intended simply as a guide.
- Ability for surgical trainees to visualize both the internal anatomy from cross sectional imaging such as CT, ● MRI, or PET scanning super imposed on a patient prior to actual operation providing invaluable 3-D understanding of a surgical approach. Such rendering can be performed just prior to the surgery allowing them to see the anatomy and orientation that would be encountered during the surgery. It is much less expensive and complicated than trying to print a 3-D model, which often is not available onsite and can take days to achieve. It also allows the trainee to interrogate in a virtual manner the anatomy of a given area and understand the structural relationships, critical structures that may complicate or interfere with surgery, as well as the unique size/position/orientation of a given patient's anatomy.
- Some operations are exceedingly complex and require a much greater depth of understanding in order to ● execute. Such is the case with congenital heart malformations where complex three-dimensional vascular anatomy makes surgical treatment difficult at best. Users are able to visualize this anatomy preoperatively in OpenSight before surgically opening the patient's chest and could potentially speed the operation and allow the surgeons to be better equipped to perform the procedure. Currently these types of procedures are performed after a surgeon has done complex and time consuming 3-D printing of models in order to better understand the anatomy. OpenSight allows one to render this in 2-D, 3-D and 4-D. In this use case, the images do not need to be on the patient. The doctor can rotate and magnify the anatomy free of the patient to get a better visual picture.
- As part of the preoperative experience, the target organs can be colored, outlined, or annotated in the medical images using the Novarad 3-D viewer. The annotated-holographic images can be shown to the patient or family superimposed on the patient. This would make the interpretation of the images much clearer. This will improve a patients understanding of the risks and the complexities of a surgical procedure.
- Surgeons in general, do not have the same degree of training in imaging and image processing as radiologists and it is often difficult for them to take 2-dimensional anatomy and apply this to their 3-dimensional world. OpenSight will allow Surgeons to better understand complex anatomy and disease processes by taking the data rich information, which they already have, and providing this in a more accessible format through holographic imaging. The value of the OpenSight is that it not only allows one to see the 3-dimensional data sets but also it can be co-localized to the patient and gives the 3-dimensional understanding of what he is attempting to do. Holographic augmented reality allows one to see with better understanding because the images are co-localized to the patient. The system with its mapping cameras, maps both the patient and the surrounding environment; from above, to the side, behind or even underneath the patient.
OpenSight is not designed as a primary tool for disease detection or diagnosis.
OpenSight integrates with NovaPACS software.
OpenSight contains wireless technology using Wi-Fi 802.11ac networking standard. The wreless technology is used to stream images in a 2D format from a Novarad server onto the OpenSight headset. Images are actual visible rendered of the object in the OpenSight device with reliable and accurate information. The wireless information transfer is encrypted with 256 encryption for data security.

Sphere Test:
Objective: To determine the accuracy of the projected hologram with the size of the object by comparing the physical circumference with an annotated diameter.
Device Description: Novarad PACS Viewer, OpenSight headset (Microsoft HoloLens), MRI Calibration Sphere.
Test Equipment: EXTECH LT40 LED Light Meter (Asset #13167).
Test Setup: MRI calibration sphere scanned by CT modality. Images processed by Novarad PACS software and viewed through OpenSight headset. Lighting under normal office settings (140 - 250 LUX).
Method: Measured physical circumference of the sphere and compared it to the diameter measured in the virtual image.
Results: Physical circumference = ~1036 mm. Physical diameter =~329.769 mm. Measured virtual diameter = 328.78 mm. Difference = ~.989mm. -
Box and BB testing:
Objective: To identify an average offset between the physical object and the hologram displayed from various points of view with a stationary object that has multiple points of references. The degree of offset (distance measured) between the physical object and hologram was measured in 10ths of an inch and converted to mm.
Device Description: Novarad PACS Viewer, OpenSight headset (Microsoft HoloLens), Box (23.6 cm width by 18.8 cm height by 29.6 cm long) with copper BB's.
Test Equipment: EXTECH LT40 LED Light Meter (Asset #13167), H&H CALIPER, DIAL 6' (Asset #13138).
Test Setup: Box with BB's scanned by CT modality. Images processed by Novarad PACS software and viewed through OpenSight headset. Offset measured with an H&H 6' Dial Caliper. Lighting under normal office settings (140 - 250 LUX).
Method: Measured the distance of the offset between the physical BBs and the hologram BBs.
Results: Highest average offset was 1.67 mm, lowest average offset was 0 mm.
Mean offsets:
- 0 degrees and 6 inches (15.24 cm) away: 0.8596 mm (SD 1.7189 mm)
- 0 degrees and 1 foot (30.24 cm) away: 0.9861 mm (SD 1.1305 mm)
- 90 degrees and 6 inches (15.24 cm) away: 1.5213 mm (SD 2.0604 mm)
- 90 degrees and 1 foot (30.24 cm) away: 0.8050 mm (SD 1.1602 mm)
- 135 degrees and 6 inches (15.24 cm) away: 2.0825 mm (SD 1.8636 mm)
- 135 degrees and 1 foot (30.24 cm) away: 1.6913 mm (SD 2.3016 mm)
The angle that has the lowest mean is 90 degrees and one foot away. At 0 degrees and one foot away there is the least amount of deviation in the offset. The 0 degrees and six inches away has a confidence interval that contains zero suggesting that there might not be a significant offset present from that distance and angle. The mean offsets for each angle at one foot tend to be lower than the mean offsets at six inches.

- Ability to aid the operating physician to localize anatomy prior to intervention. This can be used as an aid to . augment, and correlate with the location of a patient's injury. For example, rib fractures can be difficult to localize in the operating room and frequently incisions will be larger than needed in order to plate a displaced rib fracture. Virtually all patients with acute appendicitis in the United States receive a CT scan prior to operative intervention for diagnostic purposes. With this technology, the location of the appendix could be identified and the surgeon would be able to see variations in the anatomy prior to making an incision in an area that may or may not have the appendix. Another example would be the location of masses, lymph nodes, or tumors that may be difficult to find due to body habitus or location. For example, the abilize a disc or vertebral body prior to operative intervention would save valuable surgical time and fluoroscopy.
- Ability to superimpose an anatomic atlas upon the patients' anatomy, allowing one to more readily identify structures that would either need to be treated or need to be avoided for a surgical procedure. This could be invaluable for example for a neurosurgeon to understand preoperatively, the best approach for cranial surgery. It could allow a head and neck surgeon to have a better understanding of the skull base in threedimensional detail. This internal visualization can be achieved without the surgeon ever making an incision on the patient. He/she of course can be guided by their best judgment, experience and training as to the ultimate approach and performance of any given procedure. OpenSight is intended simply as a guide.
- Ability for surgical trainees to visualize both the internal anatomy from cross sectional imaging such as CT, ● MRI, or PET scanning super imposed on a patient prior to actual operation providing invaluable 3-D understanding of a surgical approach. Such rendering can be performed just prior to the surgery allowing them to see the anatomy and orientation that would be encountered during the surgery. It is much less expensive and complicated than trying to print a 3-D model, which often is not available onsite and can take days to achieve. It also allows the trainee to interrogate in a virtual manner the anatomy of a given area and understand the structural relationships, critical structures that may complicate or interfere with surgery, as well as the unique size/position/orientation of a given patient's anatomy.
- Some operations are exceedingly complex and require a much greater depth of understanding in order to ● execute. Such is the case with congenital heart malformations where complex three-dimensional vascular anatomy makes surgical treatment difficult at best. Users are able to visualize this anatomy preoperatively in OpenSight before surgically opening the patient's chest and could potentially speed the operation and allow the surgeons to be better equipped to perform the procedure. Currently these types of procedures are performed after a surgeon has done complex and time consuming 3-D printing of models in order to better understand the anatomy. OpenSight allows one to render this in 2-D, 3-D and 4-D. In this use case, the images do not need to be on the patient. The doctor can rotate and magnify the anatomy free of the patient to get a better visual picture.
- As part of the preoperative experience, the target organs can be colored, outlined, or annotated in the medical images using the Novarad 3-D viewer. The annotated-holographic images can be shown to the patient or family superimposed on the patient. This would make the interpretation of the images much clearer. This will improve a patients understanding of the risks and the complexities of a surgical procedure.
- Surgeons in general, do not have the same degree of training in imaging and image processing as radiologists and it is often difficult for them to take 2-dimensional anatomy and apply this to their 3-dimensional world. OpenSight will allow Surgeons to better understand complex anatomy and disease processes by taking the data rich information, which they already have, and providing this in a more accessible format through

holographic imaging. The value of the OpenSight is that it not only allows one to see the 3-dimensional data sets but also it can be co-localized to the patient and gives the 3-dimensional understanding of what he is attempting to do. Holographic augmented reality allows one to see with better understanding because the images are co-localized to the patient. The system with its mapping cameras, maps both the patient and the surrounding environment; from above, to the side, behind or even underneath the patient.
One possible example scenario of using OpenSight for preoperative planning is described in Appendix D.
OpenSight is not designed as a primary tool for disease detection or diagnosis.
OpenSight integrates with NovaPACS software.
OpenSight contains wireless technology using Wi-Fi 802.11ac networking standard. The wreless technology is used to stream images in a 2D format from a Novarad server onto the OpenSight headset. Images are actual visible rendered of the object in the OpenSight device with reliable and accurate information. The wireless information transfer is encrypted with 256 encryption for data security.
Substantial Equivalence
Research and testing data provide evidence that OpenSight is substantially equivalent to the represented predicate devices: True 3D Viewer Software, a class II device under 21 CFR 892.2050; and LungVision, a class II device under 21 CFR 892.2050.
OpenSight and predicate devices are Radiological Image Processing Systems, which retrieve, store, and display images from DICOM compliant medical imaging modalities and/or systems. They are intended to be used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and clinics, on 3d party off-the-shelf hardware. They are intended to provide qualified medical professionals with a variety of tools and software features for the viewing, and annotation of medical images.
Performance testing results show that the software features of OpenSight operate correctly and safely, meet equivalent objectives, and perform equivalent functions as those represented in the predicate device. Performance testing also shows that the unique combination of safety features represented in OpenSight does not raise any additional safety concerns.
Performance Testing
Thorough software testing has been performed for OpenSight to the safety and efficacy of the device. Forty-two test cases were run on OpenSight to fulfill the imaging software requirements. All 42 tests passed for case ID 55391. We believe that the testing performed so far is sufficient to conclude that the features and functionality of OpenSight software is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and that it does not raise any new safety concerns.
Venfication and validation activities are performed on OpenSight during software development prior to release, and in an ongoing manner for any updates. OpenSight software passes all performance requirements and meets all specifications prior to release, including:
- All requirements in the iteration have a test case and the test case has run and passed a.
- b. All Acceptance tests have passed
8
- C. All Current tests have passed
- All high-impact bugs have been corrected and verified by Quality Assurance d.
- Any unresolved anomalies have been assessed in a risk meeting, and it has been found that they do e. not pose any safety risks to the end user (or their patients) and do not substantially affect the performance of OpenSight software.
Performance testing data has been included in an Appendix A to this submission.
OpenSight was also tested to the requirements of ANSI AAMI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.
Additional Performance Testing
Preoperative localization accuracy performance testing was performed in accordance with the description and requirements described in the following testing environments. Testing was conducted using Novarad OpenSight software to present the hologram. The overall results from each test provides evidence of acceptable quality and accuracy for pre-operative localization and pre-operative planning.

2) Box and BB testing
Introduction:
Object used in this test was, obtained from Riverwood's imaging: Object: Box with set BB's. Computerized tomography (CT) was, used to scan the object. OpenSight headset is used to display the augmented reality (AR) to view the hologram on the object. The purpose of this test was to identify an average offset between the physical object and the hologram displayed from various points of view with a stationary object that has multiple points of

references. The degree of offset (distance measured) between the physical object and hologram was measured in 10th of an inch and converted to mm.
Device Description:
- -Novarad PACS Viewer: Novarad PACS Viewer software.
- -OpenSight headset (Microsoft HoloLens)
- Box (23.6 cm width by 18.8 cm height by 29.6 cm long) with copper BB's -

13138 | H&H | N/A | N/A | CALIPER, DIAL 6' | 648376 |
Test setuo:
The OpenSight headset was running the Novarad OpenSight software to present the hologram. The object created in this test was a box with bb's glued to the outside. The box with BB's used as an object to test the accuracy of the hologram and measuring the spatial difference between physical bb and hologram bb. "O" indicates that the hologram bb and physical bb are in the same place. "1 +", Hologram bb and physical bb are offset in number amounts, indicated numbers reflected for millimeter (mm). Distances were measured in .001 of an inch and converted to mm. The individual using the OpenSight headset mantained Lighting for this test was under normal office settings of 140 - 250 LUX
Method:
Box and copper bb's were scanned by CT modality. Images were then processed and virtualized by Novarad PACS software and viewed though the OpenSight headset. The offset was measured with an H&H 6' Dial Caliper. It was used to determine an accurate measurement between the hologram and the object. Measurement of the distance, offset from one side of the point of interest (bb) to the same side of the corresponding hologram.
Distance of the offset: The distance between an object and the hologram generated by augmented reality. Depending user's point of view and the point of interest there can be a small offset of what the user can perceive as accurate or not. See the following diagram/figures as an example:
Results:
Perspective of four individuals of the same object and images were measured showing at any measured point (bb) had an off set of, highest average 1.67 mm and a lowest average offset of 0 mm. (offset of hologram from real object):
When the viewer was facing north and viewing the box, we decided that it would be a 0 degree angle from the center of the box, west was 90 degrees and south west was 135 degrees.
The mean offset from each direction, north, west and southwest, without accounting for distance are, respectively, 0.9415 mm (standard deviation 1.4092 mm) , 1.1631 mm (standard deviation 1.6932 mm), and 1.8869 mm (standard deviation 2.0811 mm). If we are accounting for distance away from the box, north, west and southwest at 6 inches away, the mean offsets were, respectively, 0.8596 (standard deviation 1.7189 mm), 1.5213 (standard deviation 2.0604 mm), and 2.0825 (standard deviation 1.8636 mm). Those were farther away on average than the mean offsets from a distance of 1 foot (except for the north direction), which were, respectively, 0.9861
14
mm (standard deviation 1.1305 mm), 0.8050 mm (standard deviation 1.1602 mm), and 1.6913 mm (standard deviation 2.3016 mm).
The angle that has the lowest mean is the 90 degrees and one foot away. At 0 degrees and one foot away there is the least amount of deviation in the offset. The 0 degrees and six inches away has a confidence interval that contains zero suggesting that there might not be a significant offset present from that distance and angle. The mean offsets for each angle at one foot tend to be lower than the mean offsets at six inches.

3) Frame Rates:
The actual visible rendering of the object in the OpenSight device (i.e. how fast can the hologram be updated as ones position relative to the patient changes) has no discernible time lag with the object rendering (i.e. the rendering is in excess of 30 frames per second for standard image rendering). If one turns on advanced lighting and shadowing, cubic spine interpolation of the image and utilizes a large image dataset (in excess of 200 images) then there is a visible time lag between the holographic rendering and the projection on to the patient. See attached video (Motion.MOV) that demonstrates this. It is still less than a second under the worst-case scenario.
Images are displayed at 60 fps. Normal mode is 30 fps.
In Volume mode the geometry is recomputing at 6 fps.
Image /page/19/Picture/7 description: The image shows a person wearing a headset with a brain scan overlayed on top of their head. The brain scan is a 3D rendering of a human brain, and it is positioned so that it appears to be inside the person's head. The image also shows a whiteboard with some writing on it, and a computer monitor. The text at the bottom of the image says "Frame Rate: 6 fps".

A large, translucent orange dome is superimposed over the person's head, possibly indicating a virtual reality or augmented reality application. The text "Frame Rate: 14 fps" is visible, suggesting a performance metric of the application. The background includes a whiteboard with diagrams, a computer monitor, and office cubicles.
In Slice mode the geometry is recomputing at 40-50 fps.

4) Surface Geometry Mapping:
Registration of the patient (reality) to another image data set such as MRI or CT (augmented reality) are performed by the OpenSight device which contains infrared ranging cameras which can map the surface geometry of an object creating a mesh of triangles conforming to whatever the object is. This can include the patient, the surrounding room, the table, etc. The resolution of the mesh is controlled by the device. For mapping a large object such as a room, a larger mesh would be utilized. Surface geometry mapping of a patient's anatomy utilizes the maximum resolution of the device while the user may walk around the object in a 360° circle mapping the object from many views in order to obtain the best localization in space.
The camera device from the OpenSight headset has ranging and localizing technology, which maps the surrounding environment, including the patient. It knows where objects are and mesh surface maps of these objects are created for determination of their 3D positioning. The 3D radiologic images are then rendered and surface shells of the patient's skin are matched to the augmented reality device when user has OpenSight headset on and in use. The advantage of this is if the patient moves this can be compensated for. The registration does not require expensive infrared tracking devices or other fiducials in order to perform registration. The anatomy and the correct patient will only register if there is a match of the data, thus diminishing the potential for preoperative use on the wrong patient with the wrong images.

Other office settings such as Operating Room and other room settings brightness did not affect the field of view projected inside the device. See attached jpeg files showing the performance of the device measured at 3743, 407.8, & 157.9 LUX. The ambient levels seen in the different room settings where the device is intended to be used did not influence the object appearing in the line of sight.
The overall results provides evidence of acceptable image quality, visualization, and accuracy for pre-operative localization and pre-operative planning.
