Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for acquiring and for altering a configuration of a number of objects in a procedure room for planning and for collision avoidance during a medical procedure, wherein each object is represented by a virtual model, including a physical model of the object and a safety zone around the physical model. The physical model represents the configuration of the object and the safety zone represents a collision-prevention area for a movement of any of the objects during a medical procedure. The virtual models of the objects are placed at a position in a virtual model of the procedure room. Additionally, the configurations of the physical models during the medical procedure are computed and the configuration of the physical model of the corresponding object is altered when a collision during the movement is determined. The disclosure further relates to a device for executing the method.
