Abstract
Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an Interaction Engine. The Interaction Engine generates, within a unified three-dimensional (3D) coordinate space: (i) a 3D virtual medical model positioned according to a model pose and (ii) at least one 3D virtual slice that corresponds with a view of respective slice layer from a plurality of slice layers associated with the 3D virtual medical model. The Interaction Engine renders an Augmented Reality (AR) display that includes concurrent display of the 3D virtual medical model and the 3D virtual slice(s). The Interaction Engine detects one or more physical gestures associated with the user and the physical instrument. The Interaction Engine identifies at least one interaction associated with the detected physical gestures and modifies the AR display according to the identified interaction.
