Abstract
In certain embodiments, a system for controlling a laser device comprises a laser device, a haptic sensation generator, a gesture detector, and a computer. The laser device generates a laser beam with a focal point to perform a procedure on a patient. The haptic sensation generator generates an acoustic field that projects a sensory pattern onto a user, where the sensory pattern operates as a user controller related to the procedure. The gesture detector detects a gesture of the user interacting with the user controller, and provides a description of the gesture. The computer: instructs the haptic sensation generator to generate the acoustic field that projects the sensory pattern operating as the user controller; receives the description of the gesture of the user interacting with the user controller; and provides instructions to perform an operation corresponding to the gesture.
