A surgical microscope lighting control system comprising a controller configured to: estimate or determine a lighting need of a surgeon during at least part of a surgical procedure based at least on a viewing status of a region of illumination, wherein the viewing status of the region of illumination is estimated or determined (a) based at least on whether or not the region of illumination is being displayed, or (b) based at least on tracking data of the surgeon or a head-mounted display; determine an adjustment to be made to an illumination provided by a lighting unit of a surgical microscope based on the lighting need; and in response to determining the adjustment, send a first signal to the lighting unit to change the illumination according to the adjustment.

A UI for a HMD system includes a HMD configured to be worn by a surgeon. A tracker is configured to track head gestures by the surgeon. A footswitch is configured to detect foot motion inputs by the surgeon. A computer couples to the HMD, the tracker, and the footswitch. A user interface includes the HMD, tracker, and footswitch. The use interface is configured to: provide to the computer the head gesture in association with the foot motion input, and display an image relating to a surgical procedure on the HMD. The computer is configured to: apply the head gesture received in association with the foot motion input to perform a first action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a first system mode, and perform a second action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a second system mode.

UI for head mounted display system

A medical Wide-Field-Of-View optical-tracking-system for determining the position and orientation of a target-object in a reference coordinate system. The system includes at least three light-emitters, at least one optical-detector and a processor. The processor is coupled with each optical-detector. One optical-detector is a Wide-Field-Of-View optical detector, which acquires an image of the light-emitters within the field-of-view thereof. Each Wide-Field-Of-View optical-detector includes an optical-sensor and two optical-receptors. The processor determines the position and orientation of the target-object in the reference coordinate system according to representations of the light-emitters. Each light-emitter is within the field-of-view of an optical-detector. Each optical-detector and each light-emitter is attached to one of the target-object and a reference-location. The target-object and the reference-location are respective elements in a tuple including two elements from a group consisting of a display, a patient-body-location, a-medical-tool, physician-body-location, and a fixed-position.

Medical wide field of view optical tracking system

An optical tracking system for determining the pose of a moving object in a reference coordinate system includes light emitters, optical detectors, and a pose processor. The processor is coupled with an optical detector and also with a light emitter. The processor determines the object's pose according to detected light. An optical detector and a light emitter are situated at a fixed position in the reference coordinate system. Other ones of the optical detectors and light emitters are attached to the object. One optical detector is a WFOV detector comprising an optical sensor and optical receptors. The receptors are spaced apart and optically coupled with the optical sensor. The sensor senses light received from a light emitter. Each receptor projects a different angular section of a scene on the sensor. The pose processor associates the representation on the sensor, with a respective receptor which projected the light on the sensor.
