ABSTRACT:
A system for controlling a medical device in a patient. A display system displays an image of a volume of the patient in a virtual three-dimensional space. A stylus is controllable to actuate a virtual element in the virtual space. A navigation system controls the medical device in the patient volume based on a position of the actuated virtual element. This inherently three-dimensional interface allows a physician to actuate the medical device more intuitively than possible using a two-dimensional interface.
