The NARVIS Research Lab was founded by Prof. Dr. Nassir Navab in 2004 in order to establish a close collaboration between medical experts and computer scientists in order to design, develop, and evaluate the next generation of human-machine interfaces for computer aided medical procedures. Since then, TUM, LMU and industrial partners have been closely collaborating on research projects in the area of Medical Augmented Reality, Medical Simulation and Education, and Computer Assisted Interventions. Our research lab offers a wide range of equipment from advanced tracking systems, virtual and augmented reality displays, 3D Printer, C-arm. Also, we’re closely interacting with the Institute for Emergency Medicine (INM, LMU), which hosts the human simulation center that is specialized in providing realistic trainings and evaluation environments for first-responders and medical experts. After 22 years, the NARVIS lab moved to the Garching Campus since the Innenstadtklinik is currently renovated.

NARVIS Medical Augmented Reality Research was featured in the ARD Documentary “W - Wie Wissen”: Analogue reality and digital virtuality have long since merged. Or better: They complement each other - in augmented reality. An area that is also highly interesting for medicine. Watch the video here
The NARVIS Magic Mirror supports anatomy education of medical students with the help of monitor-based augmented reality. Prof. Navab explains the concept and use cases of the Magic Mirror in an episode of "BBC 4Tech". Watch the video here
