1. A system, comprising:

  • an emulator configured to be held and operated in a free working space (FWS), the emulator representing a medical device at a target site;

    at least one detector configured to track the emulator within the FWS;

    at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions; and

    at least one processor in communication with the at least one computer-readable memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to;

    determine an alignment offset between a location of the emulator and a location of the medical device;

    during a medical procedure, determine a first movement amount based on a signal from the at least one detector indicative of a first movement of the emulator within the FWS;

    adjust the first movement amount by a first adjustment value; and

    generate instructions to move the medical device based on the adjusted first movement amount, wherein the movement of the medical device by the adjusted first movement amount reduces the alignment offset between the location of the emulator and the location of the medical device.
