Article Abstract
Robot-assisted surgery platforms are utilized globally thanks to their stereoscopic vision systems and enhanced functional assistance. However, the necessity of ergonomic improvement for their use by surgeons has been increased. In surgical robots, issues with chronic fatigue exist owing to the fixed posture of the conventional stereo viewer (SV) vision system. A head-mounted display was adopted to alleviate the inconvenience, and a virtual vision platform (VVP) is proposed in this study. The VVP can provide various critical data, including medical images, vital signs, and patient records, in three-dimensional virtual reality space so that users can access medical information simultaneously. An availability of the VVP was investigated based on various user evaluations by surgeons and novices, who executed the given tasks and answered questionnaires. The performances of the SV and VVP were not significantly different; however, the craniovertebral angle of the VVP was 16.35° higher on average than that of the SV. Survey results regarding the VVP were positive; participants indicated that the optimal number of displays was six, preferring the 2 × 3 array. Reflecting the tendencies, the VVP can be a neoconceptual candidate to be customized for medical use, which opens a new prospect in a next-generation surgical robot.

Virtual Staging of Indoor Panoramic Images via Multi-task Learning and Inverse Rendering.
IEEE Comput Graph Appl
September 2025
Capturing indoor environments with 360° images provides a cost-effective method for creating immersive content. However, virtual staging - removing existing furniture and inserting new objects with realistic lighting - remains challenging. We present VISPI (Virtual Staging Pipeline for Single Indoor Panoramic Images), a framework that enables interactive restaging of indoor scenes from a single panoramic image.

Perception plays a crucial role in autonomous driving and computer vision, particularly in interpreting traffic scenes from monocular cameras. In this article, we present a comprehensive collection of traffic scene datasets organized into four distinct groups: (1) Traffic Scene Datasets, (2) Top-View Datasets - both introduced in the authors' earlier research, (3) MultiHeightView Datasets and (4) Depth Datasets. The Traffic Scene Datasets include RealStreet, which captures authentic traffic scenarios, and SynthStreet, its synthetic counterpart.

This editorial examines the feasibility and ethical implications of integrating robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery into South Africa's healthcare system. While such technologies are well-established in high-income settings, enhancing surgical precision, reproducibility and postoperative outcomes, their widespread adoption in resource-limited contexts poses considerable logistical, financial and ethical challenges. The South African health landscape, marked by stark disparities between public and private sectors, provides a unique setting in which to assess whether such innovations should be prioritised over more pressing service delivery needs.

Individuals with homonymous hemianopia (HH) may benefit from adopting compensatory crossing and scanning strategies to successfully cross streets. In this study, we explored the effect of HH on street crossing outcomes, crossing behavior and scanning behavior in a virtual environment. Individuals with real HH (N = 18), unimpaired vision (N = 18), and simulated HH (N = 18) crossed a virtual street displayed through a head-mounted display.

Purpose: The vergence-accommodation conflict in augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR-HMDs) can alter the oculomotor system, leading to visual discomfort and fatigue. The purpose of this work was to evaluate changes of accommodation and vergence and their interaction after completing a visually and cognitively demanding 3D task using an AR-HMD.
Methods: Oculomotor parameters, including tonic accommodation (TA), CA/C ratio, tonic vergence (TV), and AC/A ratio were assessed with a photorefractor in 16 participants (10 females; mean age, 23.
