Abstract
A method and system are provided for projecting a virtual cutting tool. A housing has a longitudinal axis and includes a first opening and a second opening. A first laser is housed within the first opening and is disposed to emit a first visible light that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. A second laser is housed within the second opening and is disposed to emit a second visible light that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis such that the second visible light intersects the first visible light at a predetermined distance from the housing.
