Abstract
A system and method for displaying an augmented reality including a medical device for acquiring image data, a first display device for displaying the image data, a first tracking element for locating the medical device, and a second tracking element for locating the first and a second display device. The system is configured to receive a planning dataset and generate the augmented reality based on the planning dataset and a spatial positioning of the medical device. The planning dataset is spatially arranged with respect to the first display device according to detected spatial positionings of the first and second display device. The second display device is configured for displaying the augmented reality.
