Abstract
A virtual operating room (OR) is generated that includes virtual surgical equipment based on existing OR models and existing equipment models. Sensor feedback is received that defines a physical OR having physical equipment, the physical equipment including a surgical robotic system within the physical OR. The virtual OR and the virtual surgical equipment is updated based on the sensor feedback. A layout of the virtual surgical equipment is optimized in the virtual OR. The virtual OR and the virtual surgical equipment are rendered on a display.
Claims18
A method performed by one or more processors, comprising:
- processing one or more images from a camera to determine a layout of a physical surgical equipment within a physical operating room (OR);
- generating a virtual surgical equipment within a virtual OR with a layout that is matched to the layout of the physical surgical equipment within the physical OR;
- determining a compatibility determination for the layout of the virtual surgical equipment within the virtual OR, wherein the compatibility determination indicates whether the virtual surgical equipment may be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR;
- responsive to the compatibility determination indicating that the virtual surgical equipment cannot be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR, changing a geometry of the virtual OR to allow the virtual surgical equipment to be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR;
- and
- presenting the virtual OR to a head-mounted display (HMD) as a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) simulation.
A system, comprising:
- a head mounted display (HMD) worn by a user to move through a three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) simulation;
- and
- a processor, configured to:
- process one or more images from a camera to determine a layout of a physical surgical equipment within a physical operating room (OR);
- generate a virtual surgical equipment within a virtual OR with a layout that is matched to the layout of the physical surgical equipment within the physical OR;
- determine a compatibility determination for the layout of the virtual surgical equipment within the virtual OR, wherein the compatibility determination indicates whether the virtual surgical equipment may be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR;
- responsive to the compatibility determination indicating that the virtual surgical equipment cannot be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR, changing a geometry of the virtual OR to allow the virtual surgical equipment to be reliably moved in and out of the virtual OR;
- and
- present the virtual OR in the VR simulation to the HMD.
