1. A surgical augmented reality system, comprising:
an optical lens through which a user can directly observe surgical procedures, the optical lens defining a field of view and configured for presenting visual information augmenting observation of the user;
an augmented reality control system in communication with the optical lens to provide presentation of visual information augmenting observation by the user, the augmented reality control system comprising at least one processor, at least one memory storage for storing instructions for execution by the at least one processor, and communication circuitry for communicating signals according to the processor, the augmented reality control system configured to receive indication of at least one reference datum and to communicate with the optical lens to provide an augmented reality presentation of a surgical area of the patient artificially omitting one or more obstructions from the user's view point of the surgical area within the field of view,
wherein the augmented reality presentation includes a virtual monitor for viewing the surgical area with augmentation, wherein the virtual monitor is visually arranged within the optical lens offset from the surgical area of the patient to appear as an offset view screen, wherein the augmented reality control system is configured to display the surgical area within the field of view including a viewpoint configuration having visual augmentation of the surgical area and to display the virtual monitor including a monitoring configuration having visual augmentation of the surgical area, different from the viewpoint configuration.
