The invention provides compact haptic and augmented virtual reality system that produces an augmented reality environment. The system is equipped with software and devices that provide users with stereoscopic visualization and force feedback simultaneously in real time. High resolution, high pixel density, head and hand tracking ability are provided. Well-matched haptics and graphics volumes are realized. Systems of the invention are compact, making use of a standard personal display device, e.g., a computer monitor, as the display driver. Systems of the invention may therefore be inexpensive compared to many conventional virtual reality systems.

A robotic surgical system positions and holds an endoscope. A visible imaging system is coupled to the endoscope. The visible imaging system captures a visible image of tissue. An alternate imaging system is also coupled to the endoscope. The alternate imaging system captures a fluorescence image of at least a portion of the tissue. A stereoscopic video display system is coupled to the visible imaging system and to the alternate imaging system. The stereoscopic video display system outputs a real-time stereoscopic image comprising a three-dimensional presentation of a blend of a fluorescence image associated with the captured fluorescence image, and the visible image.

Apparatus for presenting a stereoscopic image to a viewer, the apparatus including an endoscope; and a stereoscopic video camera optically connected to the endoscope, wherein the stereoscopic video camera includes first and second optical channels for acquiring, respectively, first and second images of a scene from the endoscope; first and second image sensors for acquiring, respectively, the first and second images from the first and second optical channels, the first and second image sensors being positioned along an axis; and parallax adjusting means for adjusting the parallax of a stereoscopic image acquired by the first and second image sensors and presented on a display.

The invention relates to the field of spatial representation, particularly to images which are spatially perceivable for simultaneous multiple viewers without auxiliary devices so-called autostereoscopic visualization. The invention addresses the problem of creating a form of autostereoscopic representation based on barrier technology in order to achieve an improved perceptibility for multiple simultaneous viewers. This problem is solved by a method for spatial representation wherein image section data of different viewpoints A(k), where k=1,...,n and n=6 or n=7, are made visible on a grid of image elements x(i,,j), and at least one parallax barrier screen containing alternating opaque and transparent sections is placed at a distance before or behind the grid of image elements x(i,,j). The transparent sections substantially correspond to straight bordered lines which, during the parallel projection of parallax barrier screens onto the grid of image elements x(i,,j), are inclined to at least 21 degrees with respect to the vertical direction of the grid of image elements x(i,,j) and, furthermore, each have the width of at least 1.9 image elements x(i,,j) in the horizontal direction of the grid of image elements x(i,,j).
