Multiplane suggested orientation

A method for tracking a target to maintain inclusion of the target in a display of a device during a procedure, the method comprising:

• displaying a tilt angle for causing the device to track the target of the procedure;
• receiving, as a first input, an angle of a current plane of a view of the device;
• receiving, as a second input, a point of interest related to the target;
• calculating a new plane of the view of the device using a vector in an axis after rotation and a vector from the device to the point of interest;
• calculating a tilt angle as a difference between the angle of the current plane and an angle of the new plane to provide for motion of the device to maintain inclusion of the target in the display;
• and
• adjusting the device by the tilt angle to the new plane of view thereby maintaining the point of interest in the display.

A method for tracking a target and a direction of the target to maintain inclusion of the target in a display of a device during a procedure, the method comprising:

• displaying, during the procedure, a tilt angle and a rotation angle for causing the device to track the target in the display;
• receiving a device location, a point of interest related to the target, and a direction of the point of interest;
• calculating a normal of a plane represented by the direction of the point of interest and the device location;
• calculating new plane of a view of the device using a vector calculated from a cross-product between the calculated normal of the plane and a vector of the device, and the vector of the device;
• and
• calculating the angles between a current plane of the device represented by the calculated normal of the plane and the calculated new plane of view of the device.
