Systems and methods for presenting augmented reality in a display of a teleoperational system

This invention describes a system that helps surgeons by showing them an augmented reality view of their operating environment. It displays an image of the surgical area with icons representing instruments, alongside an image of the surgeon's own body part, like a hand. The surgeon can interact with these instrument icons by moving their hand's image to touch or be near them, which then brings up a menu with more information.

Why it matters: Advances in real-time high-precision gesture tracking and augmented reality display fidelity since 2023 could make this system more robust and practical for surgical environments. These improvements enhance the reliability needed for precise interaction in telesurgery.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, image processing, gesture input device
