Abstract: Embodiments of the presently disclosed technology enable skilled surgeons and novices to share the same virtual space. Expert surgeons in remote sites can use Virtual Reality to access a 3D reconstruction of a patient’s body and can instruct novice surgeons on complex procedures as if they were together in the operating room. Novice surgeons in the field can focus on saving the patient’s life while being guided through an intuitive Augmented Reality interface.
