Comparison of 2D and autostereoscopic 3D visualization during mixed reality simulation

ConclusionOverall, autostereoscopic 3D showed superiority over conventional 2D visualization. The traveled trajectory increased in 2D as the instrument was retracted more between the targets to avoid contact. The 2D and 3D deformation upon contact seems not to contribute differently to force perception. However, the participants only had visual feedback, but no haptic feedback. Therefore, it could be interesting to include haptic feedback in a future study.
