Highlights of the Year

• Our paper entitled "Physics-based Deep Neural Network for Augmented Reality during Liver Surgery" was selected for oral presentation at the MICCAI conference in Shenzhen China and presented to more than 2,000 attendees [22]. In this work we demonstrated that it is possible to combine a neural network with physics-based simulation to reproduce the deformation of a complex organ.

• SOFA, our open source simulation software, continues to grow and attract scientists and companies. New results were presented during the SOFA week in November at Station F in Paris. Three start-ups created by former SOFA engineers or researchers, were among the attendees.
