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.

Claims25

Dependent claims

An immersive display for use in a robotic surgical system, comprising:

a support arm;
a housing mounted to the support arm and configured to provide a three-dimensional display of at least one image from an endoscopic camera used in the robotic surgical system;
at least one sensor configured to detect a head gesture of the user;
and
a controller that configures the three-dimensional display to display a modified image from the endoscopic camera in response to the at least one sensor detecting an intentional head gesture of the user, wherein the controller configures the immersive display to maintain a relative spatial relationship of the housing and a hand of the user by providing visual cues to position the hand of the user at a target location in space.
