Claim 15:
16. A system comprising:
an operating room (OR) monitor configured to display three-dimensional (3D) medical scan information of a portion of a patient in 3D space; and
an interactive head-mounted device (HMD) in communication with the OR monitor, the interactive HMD including:
an optical assembly configured to display medical images and to enable viewing of at least a portion of a surrounding environment;
an eye tracking device configured to track a location of a focus of a user's gaze; and
a processor in communication with the optical assembly and the eye tracking device; and
a memory configured to store an application, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
display 3D medical scan information on the OR monitor;
communicate planes of the 3D medical scan information displayed on the OR monitor to an interactive HMD configured to be mounted on a head of a user;
display, on the interactive HMD, the planes of the 3D medical scan information perpendicular to one another, yielding perpendicular planes;
monitor a location of a focus of a user's gaze;
update the perpendicular planes of the 3D medical scan information on the OR monitor based on monitored movement of the location of the focus of the user's gaze;
detect that the user's gaze is focused on a perpendicular plane of the perpendicular planes of the 3D medical scan information;
in response to detecting that the user's gaze is focused on the perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information, highlight the perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information, yielding a highlighted perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information, and display control objects associated with the highlighted perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information;
detect that the user's gaze is focused on a control object of the control objects; and
in response to detecting that the user's gaze is focused on the control object, determine selection of the control object and modify the highlighted perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information in a way defined by the control object,

wherein displaying the control objects associated with the perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information includes displaying movement direction control objects on opposite sides of the perpendicular plane of the 3D medical scan information, and
wherein the movement direction control objects include up and down control objects and forward and backward control objects.
