1. A medical imaging system comprising:
an imaging device adapted to perform a plurality of imaging device functions;
at least two head-mounted display systems—(HMDs) for displaying medical images captured by the medical imaging device;
a control device configured to assign a first set of functions from the plurality of imaging device functions to one of the at least two HMDs and a second set of functions from the plurality of imaging device functions to another of the at least two HMDs;
wherein a difference between the first set and the second set involves at least one of:
a displacement function for moving the imaging device,
a posture function for changing at least one of an orientation and a viewing angle of the imaging device, and
an imaging function for capturing medical images;
wherein the control device configured to assign the first and second sets based on at least one of:
an access point through which at least one of the at least two HMDs connects to the control device,
an order in which the at least two HMDs connect to the access point, and
at least one of a tracked position and a spatial orientation of at least one of the at least two HMDs.
