Abstract
An augmented reality trigger system (10) comprising a primary augmented reality device (30) and a trigger action controller (40) for implementing an augmented reality trigger method based on a medical tool (20) and/or a tool identifier (21) 5 associated with the medical tool (20). In operation, the primary augmented reality device (30) generates a camera image of the real world, which may or may not at any time include the medical tool (20) and/or the tool identifier (21). The trigger action controller (40) recognizes a generation by the primary augmented reality device (30) of the camera image of the real world including the medical tool (20) and/or the tool 10 identifier (21) and in response to such recognition, triggers a medical procedure action by the primary augmented reality device (30) and/or a medical device (50) in support of a medical procedure involving the medical tool (20).
