Claim 0:
1. A method of determining a location for a surgical procedure, utilizing:
providing a 3D spatial mapping device, wherein the 3D spatial mapping device is configured to map a bone,
attaching a marker configured to be attached to a distal end portion of the bone;
capturing a plurality of images of the marker and the bone as the bone is being moved, wherein the images include bone data representing a surface map of the bone and marker data identifying a position of the marker relative to the bone and;
sending the bone data and marker data from the images captured by the 3D spatial mapping device to a computer system;
determining a location and orientation of a mechanical axis of the bone from the marker data and bone data with the computer system;
generating a virtual mechanical axis of the bone with the computer system;
sending the virtual mechanical axis to a mixed reality display; and
displaying the virtual mechanical axis that visually appears to overlay the bone at the location and in the orientation of the mechanical axis on the mixed reality display.
