A surgical hub for configuring data to be displayed on shared displays, the surgical hub comprising: a processor, the processor configured to: determine a surgical task that uses a medical instrument during a medical procedure; determine a first contextual data to be displayed on a first display, wherein the first contextual data is based on the surgical task and the first display is a first shared display (34450, 34400) displaying at least first data for a first user and second data for a second user; and send a message instructing the first shared display to display the first contextual data; and determine a command from a user that indicates a preference for a second contextual data to be displayed on a second display, wherein the second display is a second shared display; determine a visual focus of the user by using one or more of safety glasses comprising one or more sensors to track the head movement of the user to determine where the user is viewing, an image from a camera within an operating room, and a video from the camera within the operating room; determine that the second display is within the visual focus of the user; and send a message instructing the second display to display the second contextual data; wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the second display is displaying a third contextual data associated with a second user and wherein the processor is further configured to send a message instructing the second display to remove the third contextual data and display the second contextual data. a processor, the processor configured to: determine a surgical task that uses a medical instrument during a medical procedure; determine a first contextual data to be displayed on a first display, wherein the first contextual data is based on the surgical task and the first display is a first shared display (34450, 34400) displaying at least first data for a first user and second data for a second user; and send a message instructing the first shared display to display the first contextual data; and determine a command from a user that indicates a preference for a second contextual data to be displayed on a second display, wherein the second display is a second shared display; determine a visual focus of the user by using one or more of safety glasses comprising one or more sensors to track the head movement of the user to determine where the user is viewing, an image from a camera within an operating room, and a video from the camera within the operating room; determine that the second display is within the visual focus of the user; and send a message instructing the second display to display the second contextual data; determine a surgical task that uses a medical instrument during a medical procedure; determine a first contextual data to be displayed on a first display, wherein the first contextual data is based on the surgical task and the first display is a first shared display (34450, 34400) displaying at least first data for a first user and second data for a second user; and send a message instructing the first shared display to display the first contextual data; and determine a command from a user that indicates a preference for a second contextual data to be displayed on a second display, wherein the second display is a second shared display; determine a visual focus of the user by using one or more of safety glasses comprising one or more sensors to track the head movement of the user to determine where the user is viewing, an image from a camera within an operating room, and a video from the camera within the operating room; determine that the second display is within the visual focus of the user; and send a message instructing the second display to display the second contextual data; wherein the processor is further configured to determine that the second display is displaying a third contextual data associated with a second user and wherein the processor is further configured to send a message instructing the second display to remove the third contextual data and display the second contextual data.
