Raspberry Pi-based goggle system (FAR-Pi) enable precision surgery

Building an application-specific Head Mounted Display

There are not enough projects like the Raspberry Pi-based goggle system (FAR-Pi) project where the development team began by thinking outside the Head Mounted Display. After all, product management is as much about taking out outdated, useless features as adding valuable futuristic features in.

The subject of our medVR Live Talk on Sep 26 is one of the most creatively engineered medical XR surgical solutions we have seen. The first author of the paper “Low-cost augmented reality goggles enables precisionfluorescence-guided cancer surgery”, Leonid Shmuylovich, MD, PhD will explain this working prototype.

FAR-Pi Goggles Designed to improve surgical outcomes

Fluorescence-guided surgery using tumor-targetingimaging agents has emerged over the past decade as a promising and effective method of intraoperative cancer detection.
The challenge begins with isolating the targeting agent bonded to the tumor. The authors created a low-cost, portable goggles that produces higher spatial resolution, depth of focus, and fluorescence-detection-sensitivity than existing bulkier, pricier, and wall-powered technologies.

FAR-Pi lightweight prototype surgical headset is being validated in a trial. And there is more! The FAR-Pi Goggles are an open-source project.
