Touching The Human Neuron: User-Centric Augmented Reality Viewing and Interaction of in-vivo Cellular Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) Utilizing High Resolution zStack Data Sets for Applications in Medical Education and Clinical Medicine Using GLASS and Motion Tracking Technology

This is the first report of a prototype that allows for real-time interaction with high-resolution cellular modules using GLASS(©) technology. The prototype was developed* using zStack data sets which allow for real-time interaction of low polygon and direct surface models exported from primary source imaging. This paper also discusses potential educational and clinical applications of a wearable, interactive, user-centric, augmented reality visualization of cellular structures. * Prototype was developed using IMARIS(©) , ImageJ(©) , MAYA(®) , 3DCOAT(©) , UNITY(©) , ZBrush(©) , OcculusRift(®) , LeapMotion(©) , and output for multiplatform function with Google GLASS(©) technology as its viewing modality.
