System with emulator movement tracking for controlling medical devices

A system, comprising:

• an emulator configured to be held and operated in a free working space (FWS), the emulator representing a medical device at a target site;
• at least one detector configured to track the emulator within the FWS;
• an imaging device configured to track the medical device at the target site;
• at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the at least one computer-readable memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
• receive a signal from the at least one detector indicative of a translational movement of the emulator within the FWS;
• and
• generate instructions, based on the translational movement of the emulator, to move the imaging device within a plane defined by pitch and yaw axes of the imaging device.

A system, comprising:

• an emulator representing a medical device at a target site;
• a first set of one or more detectors configured to track the emulator;
• a second set of one or more detectors configured to track the medical device at the target site;
• at least one computer-readable memory having stored thereon executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the at least one computer-readable memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
• receive, from the first set of one or more detectors, first data indicative of at least an orientation of the emulator, the first data comprising roll data, pitch data, and yaw data of the emulator;
• generate, based on a clutched user input, instructions to move the medical device based on the first data discounting the roll data of the emulator;
• and
• cause the medical device to move based on the instructions.
