Objectives:
This study evaluated the image quality of smartglass-supported Dynamic Computer-Assisted Implant Surgery (dCAIS) by testing discernibility with a Landolt ring chart reproduced with smartglasses and on the dCAIS monitor.
Materials And Methods:
15 participants' discernibility was measured under four conditions using Landolt rings. Each condition measured 13 visual acuity levels, with each level comprising three rings (39 rings per condition). Under Condition 1 (control), rings were reproduced on the dCAIS monitor and viewed without smartglasses; under Condition 2, rings were reproduced on the monitor and viewed through smartglasses; under Condition 3, rings on smartglasses matched the size on monitor; and under Condition 4, rings reproduced on smartglasses filled the field of view. Visual acuity values were converted to logarithmic values and analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA.
Conclusions:
Smartglasses enhance dCAIS functionality and reproducing information at the maximum perceived size achievable with smartglasses has a similar effect to visual enhancement through magnification.
