AUGMENTED REALITY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An augmented reality apparatus for use during an intervention procedure on a trackable intervention site of a subject, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one data processor;
at least one trackable projector in communication with the at least one data processor and configured to project an image overlaying the intervention site based on instructions from the at least one data processor; and
a medium including machine-readable instructions executable by the at least one processor and configured to cause the at least one processor to;
determine a spatial relationship between the trackable projector and the trackable intervention site based on a tracked position and orientation of the projector and on a tracked position and orientation of the intervention site;
access stored image data associated with the intervention site;
using the stored image data, generate data representative of the image to be projected by the trackable projector based on the determined spatial relationship between the trackable projector and the trackable intervention site; and
instruct the trackable projector to project the image.

Abstract
Augmented reality apparatus (10) for use during intervention procedures on a trackable intervention site (32) are disclosed herein. The apparatus (10) comprises a data processor (28), a trackable projector (14) and a medium (30) including machine-readable instructions executable by the processor (28). The projector (14) is configured to project an image overlaying the intervention site (32) based on instructions from the data processor (28). The machine readable instructions are configured to cause the processor (28) to determine a spatial relationship between the projector (14) and the intervention site (32) based on a tracked position and orientation of the projector (14) and on a tracked position and orientation of the intervention site (32). The machine readable instructions are also configured to cause the processor to generate data representative of the image projected by the projector based on the determined spatial relationship between the projector and the intervention site.

13. An augmented reality apparatus comprising:
-
at least one data processor; at least one trackable projector in communication with the at least one data processor and configured to project a medical image overlaying a trackable intervention site based on instructions from the at least one data processor; at least one tracking device configured to;
track the position and orientation of the trackable projector;
track the position and orientation of the trackable intervention site; and
provide data representative of the position and orientation of the trackable projector and of the trackable intervention site to the data processor; anda medium including machine-readable instructions executable by the at least one processor and configured to cause the at least one processor to; determine a spatial relationship between the trackable projector and the trackable intervention site based on the tracked position and orientation of the projector and of the tracked position and orientation of the intervention site; access volumetric medical image data associated with the intervention site; using the volumetric medical image data, generate data representative of the medical image to be projected by the trackable projector based on the determined spatial relationship between the trackable projector and the trackable intervention site; and instruct the trackable projector to project the medical image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
