Abstract
Systems and methods utilize mixed reality technologies to enable remotely located expert surgeons to instruct novice surgeons as if they were together in the same operating room. An example method may involve: (1) displaying, on a virtual reality (VR) display worn by a first person located in a second geographic location, a 3D virtual reconstruction of a patient located in a first geographic location; (2) determining a spatial relationship between a hand gesture performed by the first person and the 3D virtual reconstruction of the patient; and (3) displaying, on an augmented reality (AR) display worn by a second person located in the first geographic location, a 3D avatar of the hand gesture made to appear in a spatial relationship to the surgical subject that mirrors the determined spatial relationship between the hand gesture and the 3D virtual reconstruction of the patient.
