The Medical Education, Training and Computer Assisted Interventions (METRICS) Laboratory aims to integrate novel mixed-reality technologies with application in computer assisted interventions. We showcase two technologies with specific aims at optimizing surgical workflow and minimizing radiation exposure in orthopedic, trauma, and vascular surgeries. The first is an Augmented Reality C-arm fluoroscope, which provides intuitive real-time visualization by accurately overlaying X-ray to video
