Augmented reality navigation systems for use with robotic surgical systems and methods of their use
First Claim
1. An augmented reality navigation system comprising:
- a head mounted display comprising an at least partially transparent display screen configured to display augmentation graphics, wherein the display screen is configured to allow the user to see a natural field of view of the user while seeing the augmentation graphics overlaid on the natural field of view;
at least one detector for identifying real-world features, the at least one detector connected to the head mounted display;
a surgical tool having markers and configured to be detected by at the at least one detector, wherein a representation of at least a portion of the surgical tool and/or a trajectory of the surgical tool is presented in the head mounted display,wherein a detector input signal from the at least one detector corresponds to a field of view of the at least one detector and the field of view comprises at least a portion of anatomy of a patient during a surgical procedure,wherein the detector input signal includes a relative location and/or orientation for each of one or more of the real-world featureswherein the display screen displays at least three operational views simultaneously, and wherein the at least three operational views may be separately activated by changing a pitch angle of the head mounted display.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to augmented reality navigation systems and methods of their use that, inter alia, address the need for systems and methods of robotic surgical system navigation with reduced distraction to surgeons. Augmented reality navigation systems disclosed herein enable a surgeon to maintain focus on a surgical site and/or surgical tool being used in a surgical procedure while obtaining a wide range of navigational information relevant to the procedure. Navigational information can appear in the augmented reality navigation system as being presented on virtual displays that sit in a natural field of view of a surgeon during a procedure. Navigational information can also appear to be overlaid over a patient'"'"'s anatomy. Augmented reality navigation systems comprise a head mounted display comprising an at least partially transparent display screen, at least one detector connected to the head mounted display for identifying real-world features, and a computer subsystem.

10. An augmented reality navigation system for use with a robotic surgical system, the system comprising:
-
a head mounted display comprising an at least partially transparent display screen configured to display augmentation graphics, wherein the display screen is configured to allow the user to see a natural field of view of the user while seeing the augmentation graphics overlaid on the natural field of view; at least one detector for identifying real-world features, the at least one detector connected to the head mounted display; and a computer subsystem configured to generate and/or access a representation of at least a portion of a surgical tool and/or a trajectory of the surgical tool during a surgical procedure, modify at least a portion of the representation based on a relative position and/or orientation of one or more real-world features in a detector input signal received from the at least one detector, and display, on the display screen, surgical tool augmentation graphics based on the modified representation wherein the display screen displays at least three operational views simultaneously, and wherein the at least three operational views may be separately activated by changing a pitch angle of the head mounted display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
