Abstract
Method(s) and device(s) are described herein for mixed-reality (MR) headset-based navigation during a surgical procedure. For example, a surgeon or other medical professional may use a pointer during a surgical procedure to acquire a location of a patient's anatomical landmark. A virtual button may be overlaid on an array of the pointer, and may follow the motion of the pointer if the pointer is moved. An eye gaze and/or a head gaze may be used to launch acquisition of the location of the anatomical landmark. The location of the anatomical landmark may be confirmed by the surgeon.
