at least one camera configured to observe a first set of reference markers connected to a patient, and a second set of reference markers connected to a surgical tool located within a surgical room; and
a computer,
computing the relative location and orientation of the display and the first and second set of reference markers;
generating a three dimensional anatomical image using patient data created by medical imaging equipment that has imaged a portion of the patient;
generating a video signal based on at least a portion of the three dimensional anatomical image and the location and orientation of the first and second set of reference markers coupled to the patient and the surgical instrument; and
