Orthopedic surgery has always been a discipline defined by precision. Small deviations can have outsized consequences, and surgeons are often required to make high-stakes decisions under time pressure, with limited visual context.

Over the past few years, artificial intelligence and augmented reality have begun to change that equation. What started as experimental visualization tools is now evolving into practical systems that help surgeons plan more effectively, operate with greater confidence, and reduce unnecessary variability in the operating room.

At ThirdEye Gen, our work in AI-powered AR focuses on one simple goal: giving surgeons better information at the moment decisions matter most.

One of the clearest impacts of AI and AR in orthopedics is improved accuracy. By combining preoperative imaging with AI-generated 3D models, surgeons can enter procedures with a more complete understanding of patient-specific anatomy. When those models are delivered through augmented reality during surgery, alignment and implant placement become more intuitive. Studies across joint replacement and trauma procedures increasingly show meaningful reductions in placement errors when immersive visualization is used as part of the workflow.

Efficiency is another area where the impact is becoming hard to ignore. AI-assisted planning allows surgeons to simulate key steps before entering the operating room, reducing uncertainty once the procedure begins. Intraoperatively, AR overlays reduce the need to shift attention between the patient and external displays, helping teams move through complex steps more smoothly. In many cases, this translates into shorter operative times without sacrificing quality.

There are also important safety implications. Traditional orthopedic procedures often rely on repeated fluoroscopy to confirm positioning, which exposes both patients and surgical staff to cumulative radiation. Augmented reality offers an alternative by keeping spatial information directly in the surgeon’s field of view. As a result, many AR-supported workflows are associated with significantly reduced reliance on intraoperative imaging.

Beyond individual procedures, AI and AR are also influencing how surgeons train and how teams work together. Immersive visualization accelerates learning by making anatomy and spatial relationships easier to grasp, especially for early-career surgeons. In the operating room, shared AR views help align surgeons, assistants, and staff around the same information, reducing miscommunication during critical moments.

What matters most is that these technologies are no longer about novelty. For adoption to scale, AI and AR systems must fit naturally into real operating rooms. That means hands-free interaction, low latency, compatibility with existing imaging systems, and minimal disruption to established surgical workflows. The technology should support surgical judgment, not compete with it.

Orthopedic surgery is entering a period where the limiting factor is no longer access to data, but the ability to interpret and act on that data efficiently. AI and augmented reality address that gap by turning complex information into something surgeons can see, understand, and trust in real time.

As expectations around outcomes, efficiency, and safety continue to rise, immersive technologies will become less of an advantage and more of a standard. The future of orthopedic surgery will be defined not just by better tools, but by better ways of seeing.

PRINCETON, NJ – June 4, 2025 – ThirdEye, a fast-growing company specializing in augmented reality and artificial intelligence (AR/AI) solutions for defense, emergency response, and enterprise markets, announced today it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of the Air Force to develop the Modular Integrated Display Augmentation System (MIDAS)—a next-generation AR heads-up display designed specifically for use in Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive operational environments. 

As part of a broader U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) initiative, MIDAS addresses a critical capability gap by allowing Special Warfare Operators and other frontline personnel to maintain full situational awareness (SA) while wearing Mission-Oriented Protective Posture gear. The hands-free solution overlays real-time data directly in the user’s field of view, eliminating reliance on handheld devices when gloves, masks, and suits limit accessibility.

“MIDAS redefines how warfighters and frontline responders operate in high-threat environments,” said Nick Cherukuri, CEO of ThirdEye. “This is more than an AR headset—it’s a mission-critical solution that delivers real-time intelligence while preserving the full protective integrity of the gear. It marks a major milestone in our mission to equip those who serve in the world’s most challenging conditions.”

MIDAS features a monocular, transparent AR display integrated into standard protective masks, helmet visors, dive masks, and ballistic eyewear. This allows for unobtrusive visual overlays without obstructing natural vision. A proprietary contactless power and data bridge transmits HD video and power through non-conductive surfaces, preserving the protective seal and integrity of the gear. The system supports direct display of ATAK/SWAK mission systems, empowering operators to make rapid, informed decisions in dynamic environments. Its modular architecture ensures adaptability across a wide range of DoD and commercial personal protective equipment (PPE) platforms.

While MIDAS is developed for defense, its commercial potential is equally compelling. First responders—firefighters, rescue teams, and hazmat units—can use it to access building layouts, hazard alerts, escape routes, and team coordination tools in real time. In industries such as energy, oil & gas, and manufacturing, MIDAS enables workers in PPE to view diagnostics, instructions, or receive remote support—boosting safety, precision, and operational efficiency.

With a rugged, scalable design and cost-effective integration into existing protective gear, MIDAS is poised to transform field operations across military and industrial domains. Backed by DoD funding and growing market demand, ThirdEye is launching pilot programs with key first responder and industrial partners to accelerate adoption and drive scalable growth.
