The system includes a surgery planning system for creating three-dimensional information from two-dimensional images obtained by means of biplanar fluoroscopy so that spinal surgery can be planned according to the image information and a scalar-type 6 degree-of-freedom surgery aid robot adapted to be either driven automatically or operated manually.

There is provided a face mask with two eye holes, having a lighting display unit located inside a housing on the front of the forehead area of the mask and having a reflective, transparent sheet attached to the front of the mask between the eye holes and the housing. The reflective, transparent sheet is angled down and away from the front of the mask at an angle of about forty-five degrees. When the lighting display unit is energized two LEDs inside the housing, one above each eye hole of the mask, aim their light downward at the top front surface of the reflective, transparent sheet where it is reflected away from the front of the mask in a reverse heads up display operation. A viewer looking at the front of the mask sees what appears to be a pair of illuminated eyes in the eye holes of the mask. The light from the LEDs may be modified by electronic means or by light filters to change the appearance of the illuminated eyes. The LEDs and an angled reflective sheet may be utilized to create a display novelty that may be worn on a person, set on a table or hung on a wall.
