Abstract: User interface methods and systems are provided for interfacing with a plurality of objects in three-dimensional virtual environment providing for a medical imaging workspace. A method includes identifying one of a plurality of objects arranged in a three-dimensional virtual medical imaging workspace as a user-intended contextual selection based on detected gaze tracking information and establishing a command context based on the identified object. The command context comprises voice-activated commands, gesture-activated commands, or a combination thereof. The method further includes activating an object-specific action based on a detected voice or gesture command.

Abstract: A medical imaging system includes a workstation and software configured for accessing medical image data from a database and generating one of more of 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D representations of the medical image data on one or more virtual reality imaging devices, where the virtual display is manipulatable by a user through a user interface associated with the virtual reality imaging device.
