Provided is a method for controlling a surgical navigation system. A detection unit for detecting system control inputs made by a user is associated with a surgical navigation system, the navigation system is controlled in accordance with the control inputs, and user gestures are used as said control inputs. A gesture or a initiating user gesture defines a virtual volume surrounding the initiating gesture's limits, and further predetermined gestures made in the virtual volume are recognized as a control input. Also provided is a control system for a surgical navigation system. The navigation system is associated with a detection unit for detecting system control inputs made by a user, the navigation system is controlled in accordance with the control inputs, and the detection unit includes a gesture detection system for detecting user gestures.

Controlling a surgical navigation system

The invention relates to a control system for a surgical navigation system, wherein the navigation system is associated with a detection unit for detecting system control inputs made by a user, and wherein the navigation system is controlled in accordance with the control inputs and the detection unit comprises a gesture detection for detecting user gestures. The invention also relates to a method for controlling a surgical navigation system, wherein a detection unit for detecting system control inputs made by a user is associated with the surgical navigation system, the navigation system is controlled in accordance with the control inputs, and user gestures are used as said control inputs.

The invention relates to a method for controlling a surgical microscope (), wherein the position of the optical system () of the microscope () is tracked within an operating space by a position tracking system (), wherein the optical system carrier () can be moved by means of a motorized carrier moving system (). The line of sight of the optical system () is automatically set by moving the optical system carrier () and is aligned with a predefined direction in said operating space.

Controlling a surgical microscope

The invention relates to a system for controlling and/or operating a medical device () associated with a display () on which medical images () and/or control and/or operating elements () are displayed, wherein the system comprises: &#x2014;a light pointer () which projects a delimited light cursor (); &#x2014;a light detection device which is associated with the display and comprises a sensor () for determining the presence and location of the light cursor () projected by the light pointer (); and&#x2014;a converter () which converts the captured presence and location information into control and/or operating commands for the medical device. The invention also relates to a method for controlling and/or operating a medical device () associated with a display () on which medical images () and/or control and/or operating elements () are displayed, wherein a delimited light cursor () is projected onto the display () by means of a light pointer (), wherein the presence and location on the display () of the light cursor () projected by the light pointer () is detected by means of a sensor (), and wherein the captured presence and location information is converted into control and/or operating commands for the medical device ().
