Authentication and informational displays with adaptive lighting array

A method for controlling a display system for a medical suite, the method comprising:

• capturing scanning data in an operating region of the medical suite, wherein the scanning data depicts biometric information of a patient located in the operating region;
• identifying the patient based on the biometric information thereby determining an identity of the patient;
• accessing a patient record for the patient based on the identity;
• processing the scanning data including a representation of the patient;
• identifying a location of one or more features of the patient in the scanning data;
• and
• controlling a display to display information based on the patient record, wherein controlling the display comprises projecting graphic data into the operating region and positioning the graphic data based on the location of the one or more features identified in the scanning data.

A display system for a medical suite, comprising:

• a scanning device configured to capture scanning data in the medical suite;
• at least one display configured to display information in an operating region;
• at least one lighting assembly configured to emit a near infrared (NIR) emission of light into the operating region;
• a controller in communication with the lighting assembly, the display, and the scanning device, wherein the controller is configured to:
• control the scanning device to capture identifying information of a patient;
• based on the identifying information, authenticate an identity of the patient;
• based on the identity access a patient record for the patient;
• process patient record to generate the graphic data;
• and
• control the at least one display to project the graphic data onto an operating surface in the operating region in a location determined based on the patient record.
