1. A system for performing a surgical procedure using a virtual guide, the system comprising:
a display configured to display an augmented image in an environment;
a processor; and
a memory storing data for processing by the processor, the data, when processed, causes the processor to:
track a first vertebra of a plurality of vertebrae;
determine an angle of the first vertebra of the plurality of vertebrae relative to a second vertebra of the plurality of vertebrae;
generate a first virtual guide for presentation within the augmented image that includes a first visual indicator of the angle of the first vertebra relative to the second vertebra, the first visual indicator comprising a virtual rod extending from one end of the first vertebra to another end of the first vertebra;
generate a second virtual guide for presentation within the augmented image that relates to at least one of a force and a pressure applied to the first vertebra;
generate a third virtual guide for presentation within the augmented image that includes text regarding a step in a surgical plan; and
cause the display to present the first virtual guide within the augmented image.
