Abstract
A system and method for tracking an object within a surgical field are described. A system may include a lighting component to illuminate a surgical field, and a camera device to capture an image of a tracked device within the surgical field. The system may include a rotational component configured to rotate with respect to the lighting component. The camera device may couple to the rotational component to rotate with respect to the lighting component, such as in response to an obstruction of a tracked object being detected.
