Abstract:
Apparatus, including a retaining structure ( 54 ), positioned near a subject's eye that has a pupil with a diameter, an optical combiner ( 52 A) mounted on the structure before the eye, and a pixelated screen ( 60 A) having an array of variably transparent pixels coating the combiner. There is an image capturing device ( 68 A) mounted on the structure to capture an image of a scene viewed by the eye, and a projector ( 64 A) is mounted on the structure to project at least one of a portion of the captured image and a stored image onto a section of the screen at a selected location thereof. A processor ( 26 ) renders the screen section at least partially opaque, selects the section location in response to a region of interest in the scene identified by analysis of the captured image, and determines a dimension of the section in response to the pupil diameter.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for conducting an augmented reality assisted medical procedure on a patient, comprising:\n positioning an augmented reality assembly on a medical professional, the assembly comprising:\n a processor configured to access a database wherein are stored images and other visual elements related to the procedure; and \n a screen comprising an array of pixels, an opacity of each pixel being adjustable by the processor; \n the medical professional gazing, via the screen, at a region of interest (ROI) positioned in proximity to one or more marker elements while the processor:\n occludes at least a portion of the ROI by adjusting the opacity of selected pixels of the array, and \n presents an image of the ROI on a region of the screen defined by the selected pixels, so that the image appears mis-aligned with the ROI by up to a predefined misalignment value; and \n the medical professional holding a surgical device for use in the procedure, the device comprising one or more identifying elements enabling the processor to track the device.
