Abstract

A current challenge in augmented reality applications is the accurate superimposition of synthetic objects on real objects within the environment. This challenge is heightened when the real objects are in motion and/or are nonrigid. In this article, we present a robust method for realtime, optical superimposition of synthetic objects on dynamic rigid and simple-deformable real objects. Moreover, we illustrate this general method with the VRDA Tool, a medical education application related to the visualization of internal human knee joint anatomy on a real human knee
