Assignee: MEDIVIS, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 15:
16. The computer-implemented method of claim 11, further comprising:
generating a virtual clipping plane for the 3D medical model;
wherein rendering the AR display further includes:
concurrent display of the virtual clipping plane at a first position and orientation that corresponds to a first portion of the 3D medical model, wherein the orientation of the displayed clipping plane is perpendicular to the physical instrument;

wherein detecting one or more physical gestures associated with the physical instrument comprises:
detecting selection of a coordinate position of an offset tip of a virtual extension of the physical instrument, the selected coordinate position of the offset tip corresponding to a portion of the virtual clipping plane;

wherein identifying a change comprises:
subsequent to detecting selection of the coordinate position of the offset tip, detecting an update of an offset tip position of the physical instrument;
determining a second updated position of the virtual clipping plane based at least in part on the update of the offset tip position of the physical instrument;
identifying a second portion of the 3D medical model that corresponds to the second updated position of the virtual clipping plane; and
wherein modifying the AR display comprises:

modifying the AR display according to a clipping plane interaction by:
during the update of the offset tip position, displaying a transition of the virtual clipping plane from the first position of the virtual clipping plane to the second updated position of the virtual clipping plane; and
for each successive virtual clipping plane position and orientation that occurs during the transition of the virtual clipping pane:
(i) identifying a portion of the 3D medical model data with a coordinate position that corresponds with the successive virtual clipping pane position; and
(ii) displaying the identified portion of the 3D medical model while the virtual clipping plane is displayed at the successive virtual clipping pane position.
