There is very limited payed parking available and no free parking at all. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to use public transport.

If you come to Munich by train, you do not even need to use public transport. The hospital is within walking distance (10min) from the central station:

  • When reaching the end of tracks, head right to the south exit of the station.
  • After leaving the station, cross Bayerstr. and continue southwards on Goethestr.
  • After approx. 500m, turn left on Nussbaumstr.
  • Cross Schillerstr. and continue on Nussbaumstr.
  • After approx. 100m you will reach the main entrance of Chirurgische Klinik on the left side.
  • After entering the building use the staircase on the left side. At the staircase you will find signs leading you to the lab.
  • Inside the building look for Station 3, which is on the second floor. In the same floor, on the opposite side of Station 3, you'll find our room C2.06.

  • Use subway lines U1, U2, U3, or U6 to Sendlinger Tor.
  • Exit the station to Nussbaumstr.
  • Walk along Nussbaumstr.
  • After approx. 500m you will reach the main entrance of Chirurgische Klinik on the right side.
  • After entering the building use the staircase on the left side. At the staircase you will find signs leading you to the lab.
  • Inside the building look for Station 3, which is on the second floor. In the same floor, on the opposite side of Station 3, you'll find our room C2.06.

Once you enter the main entrance, turn left, walk past the cafeteria, walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor and turn left, through the glass door. Enter the door straight in front/right of you.

The NARVIS Research Lab was founded by Prof. Dr. Nassir Navab in 2004 in order to establish a close collaboration between medical experts and computer scientists in order to design, develop, and evaluate the next generation of human-machine interfaces for computer aided medical procedures. Since then, TUM, LMU and industrial partners have been closely collaborating on research projects in the area of Medical Augmented Reality, Medical Simulation and Education, and Computer Assisted Interventions. Our research lab offers a wide range of equipment from advanced tracking systems, virtual and augmented reality displays, 3D Printer, C-arm. Also, we’re closely interacting with the Institute for Emergency Medicine (INM, LMU), which hosts the human simulation center that is specialized in providing realistic trainings and evaluation environments for first-responders and medical experts.

NARVIS Medical Augmented Reality Research was featured in the ARD Documentary “W - Wie Wissen”: Analogue reality and digital virtuality have long since merged. Or better: They complement each other - in augmented reality. An area that is also highly interesting for medicine. Watch the video here

The NARVIS Magic Mirror supports anatomy education of medical students with the help of monitor-based augmented reality. Prof. Navab explains the concept and use cases of the Magic Mirror in an episode of "BBC 4Tech". Watch the video here
