Background Augmented reality‐based surgeries have not been successfully implemented in oral and maxillofacial areas due to limitations in geometric accuracy and image registration. This paper aims to improve the accuracy and depth perception of the augmented video. Methodology The proposed system consists of a rotational matrix and translation vector algorithm to reduce the geometric error and improve the depth perception by including 2 stereo cameras and a translucent mirror in the operating room. Results The results on the mandible/maxilla area show that the new algorithm improves the video accuracy by 0.30–0.40 mm (in terms of overlay error) and the processing rate to 10–13 frames/s compared to 7–10 frames/s in existing systems. The depth perception increased by 90–100 mm. Conclusion The proposed system concentrates on reducing the geometric error. Thus, this study provides an acceptable range of accuracy with a shorter operating time, which provides surgeons with a smooth surgical flow.
