Most of the publications in the field of augmented reality in medicine concentrates on developing new types of systems but not on optimization of speed or portability of existing ones. The intention of authors of this article is to fill this gap by showing a possibility of creating augmented reality interface for visualization of volumetric medical data for Windows OS environment that can be run on off - the - shelf computer and test its capability. Tests of the authors application was performed on three 3D models generated from computer tomography data stored in collection of DICOM files. Authors novel and efficient solution can be easily attached to nearly all medical application system running Windows OS and give medical personnel support of a new level by presenting more informative and realistic three dimensional visualizations for low cost.
