Alessio Nocera
Born in Pisa. I received my bachelor's and master’s degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa. During 2023 I optimized my master thesis work with a research fellow “development of application using the game engine Unity3D for surgical applications for Augmented Reality visualization”. I am now attending the PhD program in Smart Industry at the Department of Information Engineering. I am working at EndoCAS Center, a research lab at Cisanello Hospital in Pisa. My research field concerns the study of the Mixed Reality environment and the technologies behind this concept. In detail, I am focusing on Augmented Reality, a sub-category of Mixed Reality, and the use of Head-Mounted Displays devices within medical scenarios. More specifically, I am now focusing on studying the calibration of AR visors to perform tasks in peripersonal space.
Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Unity, medical environment, software development
My research is focus on the study of Head Mounted Displays for Augmented Reality in medical environment. I would like to achieve these goals: o Building a robust calibration system working on software and hardware solutions (Main milestone) – during 2024 Defining a registration method based on actual technologies – after phase 1 Development of DEMO applications – last phase of the project
Won the Best Live DEMO Award during the 2023 IEEE MetroXRAINE Conference in Milan
