Abstract
A computer-assisted three-dimensional virtual osteotomy system for orthogna thic surgery (CAVOS) is presented. The virtual reality workbench is used fo r surgical planning. The surgeon immerses in a virtual reality environment with stereo eyewear, holds a virtual "scalpel" (3D Mouse) and operates on a "real" patient (3D visualization) to obtain pre-surgical prediction (3D bo ny segment movements). Virtual surgery on a computer-generated 3D head mode l is simulated and can be visualized from any arbitrary viewing point in a personal computer system.
