Described herein are systems, methods, and techniques for spatially-aware displays for computer-assisted interventions. A Fixed View Frustum technique renders computer images on the display using a perspective based on a virtual camera having a field-of-view facing the display and automatically updates the virtual position of the virtual camera in response to adjusting the pose of the display. A Dynamic Mirror View Frustum technique renders computer images on the display using a perspective based on a field-of-view of a virtual camera that has a virtual position behind the display device. The virtual position of the virtual camera is dynamically updated in response to movement of a user's viewpoint located in front of the display device. Slice visualization techniques are also described herein for use with the Fixed View Frustum and Dynamic Mirror View Frustum techniques.
