Abstract
An endoscopic system according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a head-mounted display, a detector, and a controller. The head-mounted display is worn by an operator. The detector is capable of detecting a motion of the operator. The controller causes each of the plurality of head-mounted displays to individually display an image. The controller includes an endoscopic image acquisition unit capable of obtaining endoscopic image data of an affected area of a patient and an image control unit capable of controlling the endoscopic image data based on an output from each of the plurality of detectors. The controller performs control to display the image based on an output from the image control unit.
Claims17
An endoscopic surgery assisting system, comprising:
- a head-mounted display that is worn by an operator;
- a detector that is capable of detecting an motion of the operator;
- and
- a controller that causes the head-mounted display to display an image, the controller including an endoscopic image acquisition unit that is capable of obtaining endoscopic image data of an affected area of a patient and an image control unit that is capable of controlling the endoscopic image data based on an output from the detector and performing control to display the image based on an output from the image control unit.
An endoscopic surgery assisting system, comprising:
- a plurality of head-mounted displays that are worn by a plurality of persons including an operator;
- a plurality of detectors that are worn by the plurality of persons and capable of detecting motions of the plurality of persons;
- and
- a controller that causes each of the plurality of head-mounted displays to individually display an image, the controller including an endoscopic image acquisition unit that is capable of obtaining endoscopic image data of an affected area of a patient and an image control unit that is capable of controlling each piece of the endoscopic image data based on an output from each of the plurality of detectors and performing control to display the image based on an output from the image control unit.
An image control method, comprising:
- monitoring an output from a detector that is capable of detecting a motion of an operator wearing a head-mounted display;
- judging, based on the output from the detector, whether or not an image switching motion is performed by the operator;
- and
- switching, if it is judged that the image switching motion is performed, endoscopic image data output to the head-mounted display to image data corresponding to the image switching motion.
