Abstract
An immersive display for use in a robotic surgical system includes a support arm, a housing mounted to the support arm and configured to engage with a face of the user, at least two eyepiece assemblies disposed in the housing and configured to provide a three-dimensional display, and at least one sensor, wherein the sensor enables operation of the robotic surgical system, and wherein the support arm is actuatable to move the housing for ergonomic positioning.
Claims24
An immersive display for use in a robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a support arm;
- a housing mounted to the support arm and configured to engage with a face of a user, the housing further configured to receive information to be displayed;
- two eyepiece assemblies disposed in the housing and configured to display images from an endoscopic camera as a three-dimensional (3D) display;
- and
- a sensor that is a part of either the support arm or the housing, and is configured to monitor head gestures of the user;
- wherein the support arm is actuatable to move the housing and in response to receiving an indication of a detected intentional forward head gesture of the user from the sensor, 1) the support arm moves the housing to track the intentional forward head gesture so as to maintain the engagement between the face of user and the housing and 2) the two eyepiece assemblies become configured to display zoomed-in images from the endoscopic camera according to the intentional forward head gesture,
- and in response to receiving an indication of a detected intentional backward head gesture of the user form the sensor, 1) the support arm moves the housing to track the intentional backward head gesture so as to maintain the engagement between the face of the user and the housing and 2) the two eyepiece assemblies become configured to display zoomed-out images from the endoscopic camera according to the intentional backward head gesture.
An immersive display system for use in a robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a support arm;
- a housing mounted to the support arm and configured to engage with a face of a user, the housing further configured to receive information to be displayed;
- an actuator configured to actuate the support arm to move the housing;
- at least two eyepiece assemblies disposed in the housing and configured to display images from an endoscopic camera as a three-dimensional (3D) display;
- a sensor that is a part of either the support arm or the housing;
- and
- a programmed processor that, in response to detecting an intentional forward head gestures of the user based on output from the sensor, signals 1) the actuator to move the housing to track the intentional forward head gestures so as to maintain the engagement between the face of user and the housing and 2) the two eyepiece assemblies to display zoomed-in images from the endoscopic camera according to the intentional forward head gesture,
- and in response to detecting an intentional backward head gesture of the user based on output from the sensor, signals 1) the actuator to move the housing to track the intentional backward head gesture so as to maintain the engagement between the face of the user and the housing and 2) the two eyepiece assemblies to display zoomed-out images from the endoscopic camera according to the intentional backward head gesture.
