Image Viewing Application And Method For Orientationally Sensitive Display Devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of displaying images on an orientationally-sensitive display device comprising:
- providing three-dimensional image volume data to said device relating to an object;
registering a location and orientation of said device with said object;
displaying on said display device an image generated using said data corresponding to said location and orientation of said device;
generating new images corresponding to changes in location and orientation of said device relative to said object;
wherein said correspondence between displayed generated images and said object give an impression to a user that said device is seeing into said object.

Abstract
A system and method for presenting three-dimensional image volume data utilizing an orientationally-sensitive display device whereby the image volume is navigable simply by tilting, raising and lowering the display device. Doing so presents an image on the screen that relates to the angle and position of the display device such that the user gets the impression that the device itself is useable as a window into the image volume, especially when the device is placed on or near the source of the image data, such as a patient.

17. A system for use in presenting internal images of an object comprising:
-
an orientationally-sensitive display device; three-dimensional image volume data relating to said object accessible by said device; a computer program executable by said device that receives input from orientation sensors of said device, as well as registration data between a location and orientation of said device relative to a location and orientation of said object, and generates on a display of said display device, an internal image of said object that corresponds to said location and orientation of said display device relative to said object, such that it appears to a user that he or she is looking through the display device into the object. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
