MeTaTop A Multi Sensory Table Top System for Medical Procedures Project duration: January 2008 - 15.10.2010 In medical collaboration with: Ben Ockert, Sandro Michael Heining Scientific Director: Nassir Navab Contact Person: Christoph Bichlmeier

Keywords: Computer-Aided Surgery, 3D Information Presentation

Abstract

A tabletop system in medical environments can be used for interactive and collaborative analysis of patient data but also as a multimedia user interface within sterile space. For preoperative planning physicians in charge with a particular patient meet to discuss the medical case and plan further steps for therapy. For this reason, they could collaboratively view and browse through all kind of available medical imaging data with the tabletop system. Alternatively such a system could be a central interaction device for all kind of equippment within the OR requiring user input, however, can not be operated by the sterile surgeon. We believe that the projection of all kind of user and information interfaces on a sterile glass plane would facilitate the clinical workflow.
This project is strongly related to the Tangible Interaction Surface for Collaboration between Humans project.

Detailed Project Description

Here you'll get some hints, tricks and guidelines when working with the TableTop system.

Videos

Within the scope of the programming course Projekt Systementwicklung: Bildverarbeitung und Computer-Graphik mit C++ (WS2007/08) students implemented different applications and functionality for a tabletop system. Results include software for calibrating the system and detecting and sending tracking data of finger positions, interactive games and software for viewing medical imaging data.
