Abstract: A method of distributing data among members of a surgical team may include receiving imaging data, by a modular control tower, from a plurality of imaging devices, receiving device-dependent data, by the modular control tower, from each of a plurality of intelligent surgical instruments, associating, by the modular control tower, a display device with a member of the surgical team, defining, by the modular control tower, a functional role for the member of the surgical team, and displaying, by the modular control tower, a augmented reality display by the display device. The augmented reality display on the display device may include virtual objects based on the imaging data, the device-dependent data, the functional role of the member of the surgical team, and a surgical activity by the member of the surgical team. An interactive surgical system may implement this method.
