COMPUTER-ASSISTED SURGERY SYSTEM WITH USER INTERFACE

摘要

A method for simplifying interfacing with a computer-assisted surgery system, by establishing an interaction between an operator and a monitor of a computer-assisted surgery system comprises visually tracking a tool manipulated by the operator for providing surgical data calculated from the position/orientation of the tool. A desired interaction is identified from the operator by tracking the tool reaching a specific orientation irrespective of its position. An interactive action is activated on a monitor as a function of the desired interaction, the interactive action being unrelated to said surgical data. A motion of the tool is converted to additional interactions related to said interactive action. A computer-assisted surgery system is also provided.
