METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING SURGERY USING AN AUGMENTED REALITY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for facilitating surgery, comprising:
- retrieving patient data relating to a surgical procedure on a patient;
generating virtual content based on the patient data;
creating a first virtual user interface in a field of view of a first user;
retrieving a first set of map points corresponding to a first location of the first user; and
displaying the virtual content on the first virtual user interface, such that the first virtual user interface, when viewed by the first user, appears to be fixed at the first set of map points.

Abstract
A waveguide apparatus includes a planar waveguide and at least one optical diffraction element (DOE) that provides a plurality of optical paths between an exterior and interior of the planar waveguide. A phase profile of the DOE may combine a linear diffraction grating with a circular lens, to shape a wave front and produce beams with desired focus. Waveguide apparati may be assembled to create multiple focal planes. The DOE may have a low diffraction efficiency, and planar waveguides may be transparent when viewed normally, allowing passage of light from an ambient environment (e.g., real world) useful in AR systems. Light may be returned for temporally sequentially passes through the planar waveguide. The DOE(s) may be fixed or may have dynamically adjustable characteristics. An optical coupler system may couple images to the waveguide apparatus from a projector, for instance a biaxially scanning cantilevered optical fiber tip.
