contents Drill tool positioning in dental implantology is a challenging task requiring 5DOF precision as the rotation around the tool axis is not influential. This work improves the quasi-static visual elements of the state-of-the-art with a novel Augmented Collimation Widget (ACW), an interactive tool of position and angle error visualization based on the gestalt reification, the human ability to group geometric elements. The user can seek in a quick, pre-attentive way the collimation of five (three positional and two rotational) error component widgets (ECWs), taking advantage of three key aspects: component separation and reification, error visual amplification, and dynamic hiding of the collimated components. We compared the ACW with the golden standard in a within-subjects (N=30) user test using 32 implant targets, measuring the time, error, and usability. ACW performed significantly better in positional (+19%) and angular (+47%) precision accuracy and with less mental demand (-6%) and frustration (-13%), but with an expected increase in task time (+59%) and physical demand (+64%). The interview indicated the ACW as the main preference and aesthetically more pleasant than GSW, candidating it as the new golden standard for implantology, but also for other applications where 5DOF positioning is key.
