An
object visualization device comprising an image supply, a data processor, and an output. The image supply provides a 2D X-
ray image and 3D image data of the object. The data processor registers the 3D image data to the 2D X-
ray image, detects a viewing direction used for generating the 2D X-
ray image, determines a viewing direction for projecting the 3D image data to generate a matching view of the 3D image data, generates a pair of stereoscopic images of the 3D image data for the determined viewing direction, and combines the 2D X-ray image with one of the images of the pair of stereoscopic images resulting in an augmented first stereoscopic image. The output provides the augmented first stereoscopic image and the generated second stereoscopic image as an enhanced pair of stereoscopic images providing an augmented 3D view of the object.
