Virtual reality and augmented reality have become increasingly prevalent in our lives. They are changing the way we see and interact with the world and have started percolating through medical education. In this article, we reviewed the key applications of virtual and augmented realities in neurology and neuroscience education and discussed barriers and opportunities for implementation in the curriculum. Although the long-term benefits of these approaches over more traditional learning methods and the optimal curricular balance remain mostly unexplored, virtual and augmented reality can change how we teach neurology and neuroscience.

Holography is capable of rendering three-dimensional scenes with full-depth control and delivering transformative experiences across numerous domains, including virtual and augmented reality, education, and communication. However, traditional holography presents 3D scenes with unnatural defocus and severe speckles due to the limited space bandwidth product of the spatial light modulator (SLM). Here, we introduce Motion Hologram, a holographic technique that accurately portrays photorealistic and speckle-free 3D scenes.

Article Synopsis
- Wearable augmented reality (AR) in neurosurgery enhances the visualization of navigation info directly on patients, making it easier for surgeons to understand spatial relationships.
- The study evaluates a new AR platform called VOSTARS, which shows better targeting accuracy compared to the standard Medtronic StealthStation S7 navigation system in both phantom and human studies.
- VOSTARS achieved a median accuracy of 1.4 mm in phantom studies and outperformed in human studies for key facial landmarks, indicating its potential to improve surgical outcomes.
