Abstract
The recent and continuous advance of visualization techniques in the computer vision era has brought many benefits to healthcare. Th ey are seen either as potential disruptive technologies in the surgical workplace or breakthroughs for
medical education and assistance. Mixed Reality (MR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are among those worldwide topics becoming democratized: High quality and impressively aff ordable. Th eir application into healthcare to improve the medical use of data is certain. Th eir potential usage may concern anatomy, intraoperative surgery, or post-operative rehabilitation. Th e need for realistic haptic and display gives additional interest to the biomechanical modeling of living tissues. The integration of MR/AR with numerical modelings, such as the fi nite element method, provides an objective and automated way for practitioners to analyze healthcare problems and fi nd effi cient solutions. Th is presentation aims to provide an overview of state-of-the-art and recent advances in the usage of biomechanics in MR/AR for computer assisted surgery.
