Augmented reality is being used to explain complex procedures to patients and their families in Scotland.
The Cleft Lip Education Augmented Reality (CLEAR) project, which is the first of its kind anywhere in the world, is currently being trialled in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde in Scotland, and is receiving positive reviews for its interactive interface, which explains cleft lip and palate surgery in a clear and easy to understand way.
Taking inspiration from the Harry Potter newspapers that "come to life", the Cleft Lip Augmented Reality Patient Leaflet creates an immersive learning experience to help families better understand what will happen during surgery.
