Abstract
An augmented reality display system used during a surgical procedure is disclosed. The system includes an imaging device to capture a real image of a surgical area during the surgical procedure. An augmented reality display presents functional overlay data associated with critical operations of a surgical instrument being actively visualized and interactions of the surgical instrument with tissue in the surgical area. The functional data is overlaid onto the real image of the surgical area. The functional data overlay is a combination of aspects of the critical operations of the surgical instrument and the interaction of the surgical instrument with the tissue in the surgical area. A processor receives functional data from the surgical instrument, determines the overlaid data related to the functional aspect of the surgical instrument, and combines the aspect of the tissue in the surgical area with the functional data received from the surgical instrument.
