Medical Augmented Reality – Previously we’ve looked at virtual reality and the benefits it has brought and will bring to the medical field.As yet though, we haven’t looked into how augmented reality can benefit healthcare.So let’s first start by defining augmented reality and how it differs from the more familiar concept of virtual reality.
