1. A computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation, the method comprising:
capturing a real-world environment by an imaging device of an augmented reality headset;
detecting a patient in the real-world environment by the imaging device;
generating a composite view by:
rendering a first virtual object relative to a surgical table in the real-world environment; and
combining the captured real-world environment and the rendered first virtual object;
determining a surgical port entry point in an abdominal portion of the patient based on the composite view;
rendering the surgical port entry point; and
displaying the composite view including the surgical port entry point in the abdominal portion of the patient on a display of the augmented reality headset.
