Numeric input devices, wherein the user can enter a numeric value up to 16 digits in length c. Alpha-numeric input devices wherein the user can enter full UTF-8 text as a PIN code 2) Secure Simple Pairing (SSP), using a public key cryptography, and certain modifications can help protect against man in the middle, or MITM attacks. SSP has the following authentication mechanisms: a. Just works: This method functions with no user interaction. However, the device may prompt the user to confirm the pairing process. b. Numeric comparison: The devices being paired display a 6-digit numeric code. The user can compare the numbers to ensure they are the exact same. If the comparison succeeds, the user(s) can confirm pairing on the device(s) that can accept an input. This method provides MITM protection, assuming the user confirms on both devices and actually performs the comparison properly. c. Passkey Entry: This mechanism can be used between a device with a display and a device with numeric keypad entry (such as a keyboard), or two devices with numeric keypad entry. In the first case, the display presents a 6-digit numeric code to the user, who then enters the code on the keypad. In the second case, the user of each device enters the same 6-digit number. 35 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT d.

The next round of sequential unicast transmissions and / or receptions can then start in order to achieve near real-time or real-time transmission and / or reception of specific tracking information for the different headsets, along with, optionally, instrument tracking and / or patient tracking data for stereoscopic and / or non-stereoscopic display of instrument and / or patient data by the one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems. Multicast, Broadcast In some embodiments, data or data packets, e.g. as listed in Table 2, can be transmitted and / or received with multicast transmission and / or reception, for example between a first computing system or server and multiple clients, e.g. a second computing system, third computing system, fourth computing system, fifth computing system, etc., optionally each with one or more computer processors; the second computing system, third computing system, fourth computing system, fifth computing system, etc. can be configured to generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display 1160 by the corresponding first, second, third, and fourth etc. HMDs or other augmented reality display systems. In some embodiments, data or data packets, e.g. as listed in Table 2, can be transmitted and / or received with broadcast transmission and / or reception, for example between a first computing system or server and multiple clients (for example all available clients), e.g. a second computing system, third computing system, fourth computing system, fifth computing system, etc., optionally each with one or more computer processors; the second computing system, third computing system, fourth computing system, fifth computing system, etc. can be configured to generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display 1160 by the corresponding first, second, third, and fourth etc. HMDs or other augmented reality display systems.

For example, the second computing system can identify the label for the first HMD or other augmented reality display system, e.g. “1”, in the received data and generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display for the first HMD or other augmented reality display system using the HMD or other augmented reality display system tracking data labeled for the first HMD or other augmented reality display system; the third computing system can identify the label for the second HMD or other augmented reality display system, e.g. “2”, in the received data and generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display for the second HMD or other augmented reality display system using the HMD or other augmented reality display system tracking data labeled for the second HMD or other augmented reality display system; the fourth computing system can identify the label for the third HMD or other augmented reality display system, e.g. “3”, in the received data and generate the stereoscopic or non- stereoscopic 2D or 3D display for the third HMD or other augmented reality display system using the HMD or other augmented reality display system tracking data labeled for the third HMD or other augmented reality display system; the fifth computing system can identify the label for the fourth HMD or other augmented reality display system, e.g. “4”, in the received data and generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display for the fourth HMD or other augmented reality display system using the HMD or other augmented reality display system tracking data labeled for the fourth HMD or other augmented reality display system; and so forth for any number of HMDs or other augmented reality display systems used. In this manner, each client or second, third, fourth, fifth etc. computing system, optionally with one or more computer processors, can generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display or augmented view for each HMD or other augmented reality display system with the 84 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT correct view angle and viewing perspective for each specific HMD or other augmented reality display system, for example in relationship to one or more tracked anatomic structures of the patient and / or one or more tracked physical tools, instruments and / or implants and / or one or more markers attached to a patient, e.g. a fiducial array attached to a bone. For example, each client or second, third, fourth, fifth etc. computing system, optionally with one or more computer processors, can generate the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic 2D or 3D display for each HMD or other augmented reality display system with the correct view angle and viewing perspective for each specific HMD or other augmented reality display system for a virtual display, e.g. a virtual user interface or display of one or more interactions of a tracked physical surgical tool or instrument with a virtual user interface, for example in relationship to one or more tracked anatomic structures of the patient and / or one or more tracked physical tools, instruments and / or implants and / or one or more markers attached to a patient, e.g. a fiducial array attached to a bone. In this manner, a display of a virtual user interface or of one or more interactions therewith can, for example, be displayed in the display plane of the physical HMD unit, e.g. a waveguide display or mirror based display. In this manner, for example, a display of a virtual user interface or of one or more interactions therewith can be displayed in a predetermined display plane for a first, second, third, fourth, fifth and / or sixth HMDs, for example a display plane substantially parallel to the user’s retina or a display plane substantially perpendicular to one or more pupillary axes of the user’s eyes. In other embodiments, a display of a virtual user interface or of one or more interactions therewith can be displayed in a predetermined position and / or orientation for a first, second, third, fourth, fifth and / or sixth HMDs, for example a display plane at a predetermined position and / or orientation in relationship to a patient, a surgical site, one or more markers attached to the patient, e.g. a fiducial array attached to a bone, one or more markers attached to a structure in an operating room, e.g. an OR table, OR light etc. Network of HMD or other augmented reality display system systems In some embodiments, a network of HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can be used. One or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can comprise at least one camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to the HMD or other augmented reality display system. The at least one camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to the one or more HMDs or other augmented reality 85 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT display systems can be used to generate coordinate and / or tracking information of one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems, a patient, an anatomic structure of a patient, one or more physical surgical tools, one or more physical surgical instruments, one or more robot (e.g. a robot with a robotic arm, a handheld robot, or a combination thereof) or a combination thereof. Two or more of the HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can optionally interconnect and create a network, e.g. for a shared experience of the augmented views and / or for multi-directional generation of coordinate information and / or tracking information. The use of multi-directional generation of coordinate information and / or tracking information can be helpful to reduce or avoid line of sight issues. For example, when the line of sight is blocked for a first camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to a first HMD, the line of sight can be intact or maintained for a second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. or combination thereof camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to a first, second, third, fourth of fifth, etc. HMD. The HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can be organized in a client-server network where multiple HMD clients can centralized around a single server, e.g. a first computing unit. Thus, HMD devices can be relieved of computing power when outsourcing tasks which are computational intensive (image processing) to the server. Moreover, battery life of the HMD’s can be significantly prolonged which can make th approach attractive even in case of a single HMD client. The server can be accessible in the OR. In case of multiple clients, different data inputs from the various perspectives (e.g. from a first, second, third, fourth, fifth etc. HMD) can be used by the server to increase the accuracy of the calculations (e.g. by averaging out errors). In some embodiments, coordinate information and / or tracking information, e.g. from spatial maps from two or more HMD clients, can be obtained and processed by the server. For example, spatial maps can consist of triangular meshes built from each HMD’s depth sensor information. Once spatial maps have been transferred from a first, second, third, fourth, fifth or combination there of HMD to the server, the different meshes can be combined into a combined, more accurate mesh using, for example, an averaging algorithm: For example, the data from a first HMD can be used as the baseline. From each face in the baseline mesh, a ray can be cast along the surface normal of the face. Intersection points between the ray and all other meshes can be 86 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT calculated. A new vertex for the combined mesh can be derived as the average of all intersection points along the ray. The new vertices from adjacent triangles in the baseline mesh can be connected to form the faces in the combined mesh. The combined mesh can then be transferred back to the individual HMD’s for refinement of the registration, corrdinate or tracking information and / or for refinement of the real-time or near real-time updating of the stereoscopic or non-stereoscopic HMD display, e.g. superimposed and / or aligned with an anatomic structure or anatomic landmark of a patient. In some embodiments, once coordinate information, registration information, tracking information, surface information, e.g. of one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems, a patient, an anatomic structure of a patient, one or more physical surgical tools, one or more physical surgical instruments, one or more robot or a combination thereof has been obtained using at least one camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to the HMDs or other augmented reality display systems and the information has been transferred from a first, second, third, fourth, fifth or combination there of HMD to the server, the data generated by the at least one camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated into or attached to the two or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can be combined, e.g. into a combined, more accurate surface or surface mesh using, for example, an averaging algorithm. Optionally, a weighting can be applied to the data transferred by different HMDs or other augmented reality display systems, e.g. with a higher weight for HMDs or other augmented reality display systems located closer to the patient and / or closer to the at least one camera, scanner, 3D scanner, LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof.

The at least one camera, scanner (e.g.3D scanner, laser scanner), LIDAR system, depth sensor, IMU or a combination thereof integrated or attached to the one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems and / or separate from the one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display systems can be configured to scan and / or detect a pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or a combination thereof; the pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or a combination thereof can be tracked in 3D space, e.g. as they are being moved by a user. The tracking can be direct, e.g. by directly recognizing the instrument, for example utilizing a stored shape, surface, and / or 2D or 3D outline data of the pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof or a library of shapes, surfaces, and / or 2D or 3D outline data of one or more pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof, using one or more computer processors. Direct tracking of tool and / or instrument for interaction with virtual interface One or more computer processors can be configured to detect a physical tool or instrument, e.g. a tracked pointer, a tracked stylus, other tracked tool or tracked instrument, or a combination thereof, using a camera and / or scanner (e.g. a video camera, infrared camera, 3D scanner, laser scanner, LIDAR, imaging system or an external beam radiation system etc.), e.g. in the image or scanner data, and, optionally, follow and / or track the pointer, stylus, tool, instrument, or combination thereof in real-time or near real-time, for example within the 3D space included in the image or scanner data. The one or more camera and / or scanner (e.g. a video camera, infrared camera, 3D scanner, laser scanner, LIDAR, imaging system or an external beam radiation system etc.) can be integrated into or attached to one or more HMD units or can be separate from one or more HMD units or a combination thereof. Optionally, a pointer, stylus, tool, instrument, or combination thereof included in the image or scanner data can be compared against a database or library of stored shapes, surfaces, and / or 2D or 3D outline data of one or more (optionally different) pointer(s), stylus(s), other tool(s), other instrument(s) or combination thereof and can be identified using the database of stored shapes, surfaces, and / or 2D or 3D outline data of the one or more (optionally different) pointer(s), stylus(s), other tool(s), other instrument(s) or combination thereof. Identification of the pointer, stylus, tool, instrument, or combination thereof included in the image or scanner data can, optionally, facilitate tracking of the pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof. The database can also comprise information about one or more optical markers, fiducials, fiducial arrays, and / or marker or array configurations. 101 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT In some embodiments, a pointer, a surgical tool or instrument can comprise a unique marker, fiducial array or marker / array configuration. In this manner, one or more computer processors can be configured to detect and / or identify the unique marker, fiducial array or marker / array configuration associated with that pointer, surgical tool or instrument. If a pointer, tool or instrument has been identified by at least one computer processor using any of the foregoing techniques, the at least one computer processor can associate and / or activate and / or display certain functions, e.g. display functions and / or system functions associated with that tool. For example, if a pointer has been identified by the at least one computer processor, e.g. based on identification of its unique shape (e.g. relative to a database of tool shapes) or based on identification of a unique marker, fiducial array or marker / array configuration, the identification by the at least one computer processor can trigger or initiate a specific function. For example, during set-up of an augmented reality system for a surgical procedure, a calibration procedure can be activated. When a pointer (or other tool or instrument) is identified the system can, for example, automatically display, by an HMD or other augmented reality device, a virtual object, e.g. one associated with the calibration procedure. In this example of an AR display calibration, the virtual object can be moved by moving the tracked physical pointer. The movement of the virtual object can be corresponding to the movement of the tracked physical pointer, or it can be at a different movement ratio between movement of the virtual object and movement of the tracked physical pointer, e.g. 1:1, 1.5:1, 2.0:1, 0.5:1.0, or any other ratio, for example expressed in mm, cm, and / or angular degrees. By moving the tracked physical pointer so that the virtual object, e.g. a virtual marker ball, is superimposed and / or aligned with a corresponding physical object, e.g. a physical marker ball, the system can determine the coordinate difference and / or coordinate transfer and / or distance, angular movement required to superimpose the virtual object onto the physical object; the information can be used to move a virtual display, facilitated by at least one computer processor, as a means of optimizing the superimposition and / or alignment for a user between virtual display of any virtual objects (e.g. a virtual spine and / or virtual instrument and / or virtual implant) and the corresponding physical objects and / or structures (e.g. a corresponding physical spine and / or a corresponding physical instrument and / or a corresponding physical implant). The data / information related to the coordinate difference and / or coordinate transfer and / or distance and / or angular movement required to 102 ACTIVE 709039105v1 Patent Application Attorney Docket No.172048-014306 / PCT superimpose a virtual object onto a corresponding physical object can be used, by the at least one computer processor, as a means of AR system calibration to more closely match a virtual AR display, axis of an AR display, center of an AR display with the optical axis of the user’s eye(s). The data can optionally be wirelessly transmitted and / or received by a first computing system (e.g. communicably connected to a navigation system, a robot, and / or an imaging system or an external beam radiation system) and a second (or more) computing system(s) (communicably connected to one or more HMDs or other augmented reality display devices). In another example, a system can detect another unique marker, fiducial array or marker / array configuration associated, for example, with another instrument, e.g. an awl. The identification of the unique marker, fiducial array or marker / array configuration associated with the awl can trigger a display, by an HMD or other augmented reality display device, of a targeting tool for targeting the awl, e.g. superimposed onto a target anatomic structure of the patient. One or more computer processors can be configured to detect and / or identify the tip and / or axis and / or direction of movement of a pointer, stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof, for example by detecting a shape, contour and / or outline, optional identification of the stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof used, and optional use of known shape data and / or dimensions of the stylus, tool, instrument or combination thereof.
