==REMOTE SURGICAL MENTORING - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046589 titled 'REMOTE SURGICAL MENTORING

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract of the patent application describes a system that generates a virtual representation of an operating room (OR) using robot information and depth cameras. One of the depth cameras is integrated with a portable electronic device operated by a local user in the OR. The virtual representation of the OR is communicated to a virtual reality headset, which displays three-dimensional point cloud data. The virtual reality environment is rendered on the display of the virtual reality headset, which is operated by a remote user. Additionally, a virtual representation of the remote user is rendered in augmented reality on the display of the portable electronic device.

* The system generates a virtual representation of an operating room based on robot information and depth cameras.
* One of the depth cameras is integrated with a portable electronic device operated by a local user in the operating room.
* The virtual representation of the operating room is communicated to a virtual reality headset, which displays three-dimensional point cloud data.
* The virtual reality environment is rendered on the display of the virtual reality headset, operated by a remote user.
* A virtual representation of the remote user is rendered in augmented reality on the display of the portable electronic device.

Potential Applications:
* Remote surgical training and education: The system allows remote users to experience and interact with a virtual representation of an operating room, enabling surgical training and education from a distance.
* Remote surgical assistance: The system enables remote users to provide real-time guidance and assistance to local users in the operating room, improving collaboration and access to expertise.
* Telemedicine: The system can be used for remote consultations and diagnoses, allowing healthcare professionals to virtually examine patients and provide recommendations without physically being present.

Problems Solved:
* Limited access to expertise: The system addresses the problem of limited access to specialized surgical expertise by enabling remote users to provide guidance and assistance in real-time.
* Distance and travel limitations: The system overcomes the limitations of distance and travel by allowing remote users to virtually participate in surgical procedures without being physically present.
* Training and education barriers: The system provides a solution to the challenges of surgical training and education by creating a realistic virtual environment for remote users to learn and practice surgical techniques.

Benefits:
* Improved collaboration and knowledge sharing: The system facilitates collaboration between local and remote users, allowing for real-time communication and knowledge sharing during surgical procedures.
* Enhanced surgical training and education: The system provides a realistic virtual environment for surgical training and education, allowing remote users to gain hands-on experience and learn from experts.
* Increased access to specialized expertise: The system expands access to specialized surgical expertise by enabling remote users to provide guidance and assistance in real-time, regardless of their physical location.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

a virtual representation of an operating room is generated based on robot information and sensing of the or with depth cameras. one of the depth cameras is integrated with a portable electronic device, operated by a local user in the operating room. the virtual representation of the or is communicated to the virtual reality headset, with three-dimensional point cloud data. a virtual reality environment is rendered to a display of the virtual reality headset, operated by a remote user. a virtual representation of the remote user is rendered in augmented reality to a display of the portable electronic device.
