1. A medical imaging system, comprising:
an imaging device that includes
a visible light camera configured to obtain image data representative of a two-dimensional visible light image of a scene; and
a depth sensor separate from the visible light camera and configured to obtain depth data representative of a depth map of the scene; and

an image processing system communicatively coupled to the imaging device and configured to:
generate, based on the image data and the depth data, a right-side perspective image of the scene and a left-side perspective image of the scene that together form a stereoscopic image of the scene;
instruct a first display device to display the right-side perspective image of the scene and a second display device to display the left-side perspective image of the scene,
register, based on the depth data, the stereoscopic image of the scene with a three-dimensional model of anatomy within the scene, and
direct the first and second display devices to display, based on the registering, the three-dimensional model together with the right-side and left-side perspective images of the scene.
