• an imaging device;
• a display configured to show a livestream of a surgical field of the surgical procedure, wherein the livestream is captured by the imaging device;
• and
• a control module, configured to:
• detect surgical data;
• assign display priority values to the surgical data;
• generate a visual representation of the surgical data, wherein the visual representation comprises a display element having a characteristic;
• determine a display arrangement of the visual representation of the surgical data over the surgical field based on the display priority values;
• present the surgical data on the display based on the display arrangement;
• determine an update to the surgical data;
• generate an updated visual representation of the updated surgical data by changing the characteristic of the display element of the visual representation;
• determine an updated display arrangement of the updated visual representation of the updated surgical data over the surgical field based on the display priority values;
• and
• present the updated surgical data on the display based on the updated display arrangement.
