An autostereoscopic display 101, which provides a depth perception by providing a viewer's left and right eyes (104a, 104b) with two slightly different perspectives of an image to be displayed, is provided for ultrasound guided interventions with a surgical instrument (103). The surgeon watches displayed ultrasound data (102), rendered for at least two views. The plane at which those views (L, R) intersect is adjusted to correspond exactly with the tracked three-dimensional position within a displayed scene of the surgical instrument (103), which position can be extracted from the three-dimensional ultrasound data by means of, for example, 3D object recognition. Thus, the point of reconstruction of the image presented to the viewer can be dynamically adjusted to correspond with the position of the surgical instrument on which the surgeon's eyes are presumed to be focused.
An autostereoscopic display system comprising means for presenting first and second images to a viewer's left and right eyes respectively, said first and second images comprising first and second perspectives of a three-dimensional scene to be displayed, said first and second images intersecting at a point of recreation on a plane of said three dimensional scene, the system further comprising a tracking device for determining the three-dimensional position within said three-dimensional scene of a moving object, and wherein the autostereoscopic display system adjusts said plane on which said first and second images intersect to correspond with said three-dimensional position within said three-dimensional scene of said moving object,
A method of displaying a three-dimensional scene during an intravenous procedure using a surgical instrument, the method comprising presenting first and second images to a viewer's left and right eyes respectively, said first and second images comprising first and second perspectives of a three-dimensional scene to be displayed, said first and second images intersecting at a point of recreation on a plane of said three-dimensional scene, tracking the three-dimensional position within said three-dimensional scene of said surgical instrument, and adjusting said plane on which said first and second images intersect to correspond with said three-dimensional position within said three-dimensional scene of said surgical instrument,
