Augmented reality user guidance during examinations or interventional procedures

The present invention relates to guidance during examinations or interventional procedures. In order to facilitate information provision in a medical environment such as an operation room or cathlab, an augmented reality display device (10) for medical equipment is provided that comprises a data input unit (12), a processing unit (20) and a display unit (22). The data input unit is configured to receive displayed operation parameters (14) of at least one medical appliance. The data input unit is also configured to receive relative location information (16) of at least one medical appliance in relation to the display unit and a viewing direction information (18) of the user. The processing unit is configured to detect if at least one of the medical appliances is in the user's field of view based on the relative location information and the viewing direction information. The processing unit is further configured to generate display data based on the operation parameters of the detected medical appliance. The display unit is configured to project information (24) related to the operation parameters of the medical appliance visible for the user based on the display data if the medical appliance is in the user's field of view. The display unit is configured to display the information as visible representation overlaid to reality.
