Claim 17:
18. The OSS animated display method of claim 16,
wherein determining the current spatial positional relationship between the OSS interventional device and the target object comprises computing a minimum distance between the OSS interventional device and the target object defining the current spatial positional relationship between the OSS interventional device and the target object based on the shape of the at least one optical shape sensor;
wherein the animation of the current spatial positional relationship between the OSS interventional device and the target object includes one of:
an in-plane indicator of the OSS interventional device being in-plane with an imaging of the target object; and
a forward out-of-plane indicator of a forward-facing orientation of the OSS interventional device being out-of-plane with the imaging of the target object;
a backward out-of-plane indicator of a backward-facing orientation of the OSS interventional device being out-of-plane the imaging of the target object; and
a contact indicator of a predictive degree of any contact between the OSS interventional device and the target object.
