Abstract: Certain embodiments include a method for assisting a clinician in performing a medical procedure on a patient using augmented reality guidance. The method can include obtaining a three-dimensional model of an anatomic part of the patient. The method can also include aligning the three-dimensional model with data to form augmented reality guidance for the medical procedure. In addition, the method can include presenting the augmented reality guidance to the clinician during the medical procedure using an augmented reality three-dimensional display.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing assistance for manipulating objects using virtual proxies and virtual replicas are provided. Disclosed systems enable a remote or co-located subject matter expert (SME) to provide guidance to a local user on how to manipulate physical or virtual objects in the local user's environment. The local user views an augmented reality (AR) display of the local environment. The SME views a virtual reality (VR) or AR display of the local environment. The SME manipulates virtual proxies and virtual replicas to demonstrate to the local user how physical or virtual objects in the local environment should be manipulated. In other scenarios, a local user is provided instruction by using a display from which the local user can view the local environment. Manipulations of objects are tracked and the system provides the user feedback on whether the objects are properly oriented.

Abstract: A method for space management of a workspace provided on a display includes defining a first data structure of full-space rectangles present on the workspace, wherein at least a portion of the full-space rectangles are permitted to overlap. A second data structure of largest empty-space rectangles available on the workspace is also defined to complete the representation of the workspace. The methods include performing an operation on at least one full-space rectangle on the workspace and redefining the first data structure and the second data structure in accordance with the workspace resulting from the operation performed. The operations can include adding a new full-space rectangle, moving an existing full-space rectangle and deleting an existing full full-space rectangle from the workspace. Generally, the workspace is a display device coupled to an electronic device such as a personal computer, personal digital assistant, electronic book viewer and the like.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the disclosed subject matter, a system and method of data programming includes declarative rule-based programming in which a distributed program for computers on a network is defined through tabular structures. The tabular structures can store logic, including data (e.g., primitive variables and dynamic data structures) and code (e.g., arguments and functions) that govern operation of the distributed program.
