"What we are working on is the ability to project surgical expertise and medical expertise as far forward as we can ... right out to the medic," Geoffrey Miller, a research scientist at the Army's Medical Research and Materiel Command, told Military.com on April 25 at a Pentagon technology demonstration.
The effort is designed to use augmented reality to guide a medic to perform advanced procedures such as trauma surgery on wounded personnel who can't wait for a medevac, Miller said.
