==MIXED REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING AN EXTENT OF A FIELD OF VIEW OF AN IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18653499 titled 'MIXED REALITY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING AN EXTENT OF A FIELD OF VIEW OF AN IMAGING DEVICE

The abstract describes a computer-assisted system that includes a manipulator arm coupled to an active imaging device and processors. The system automatically directs a display device to show a shape overlay over an external view of a body, indicating the field of view of the imaging device. It also displays an auxiliary shape overlay indicating the potential field of view of the imaging device, distinct from the actual field of view.

* The system includes a manipulator arm, active imaging device, and processors.
* It automatically displays a shape overlay indicating the field of view of the imaging device over an external view of a body.
* An auxiliary shape overlay is displayed to show the potential field of view of the imaging device.
* The potential field of view is different from the actual field of view.
* The system helps visualize and understand the imaging device's capabilities in relation to the body.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A computer-assisted system includes a manipulator arm coupled to an active imaging device and one or more processors configured to perform a process comprising: automatically directing a display device to display a shape overlay overlaid with an external view of a body, wherein the shape overlay is indicative of an extent of a field of view of the active imaging device relative to the body, and automatically directing the display device to display an auxiliary shape overlay overlaid with the external view of the body, wherein the auxiliary shape overlay is indicative of an extent of a potential field of view of the active imaging device relative to the body, the potential field of view distinct from the field of view.
