A family friendly demonstration of augmented reality for surgery, the technique of putting inform action on top of a live video (like Snapchat filters). 

Our Senior Research Associate, Steve Thompson shows what we use it for in surgery, why it's important and also where it can go wrong... with some assistance from his family!

**The 'Home Science' series was a short course on digital science communication for research, taking staff and students through the essentials of science communication and video creation for the public. This is a pilot video created during the course, which was submitted for feedback during the sessions.

Home Science was led by science communication training providers Sarah Cosgriff and Duncan Yellowlees, funded by the Wellcome / EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences.**
