1. A method for providing visual guidance in a medical surgery, the method comprising:
registering, within a virtual assistance device having a combination of a virtual medical implant, an Intra-Medullary (IM) nail model and a virtual insertion handle model, a construct having at least one of a physical IM nail implant and a physical insertion handle, wherein the registering is performed by scanning a first QR code attached to the physical insertion handle, and wherein the first QR code is sensed by the virtual assistance device, and wherein the virtual IM nail model creates a virtual impression of the physical IM nail implant and the physical insertion handle within the virtual assistance device;
registering, within the virtual assistance device having a drill gun model, a physical drill gun by scanning a second QR code attached to the physical drill gun, wherein the drill gun model creates a virtual impression of the physical drill gun within the virtual assistance device;
inserting, one or more third QR codes into one or more hole(s) provided over the physical IM nail implant, wherein the one or more holes are provided for accepting screws during the medical surgery;
registering through the one or more third QR codes, within the virtual assistance device, coordinates of the one or more holes with respect to the coordinates of the virtual impression of the physical IM nail implant and the physical insertion handle;
inserting, each of the physical IM nail implant and the physical insertion handle into a target;
displaying, over the virtual assistance device, each of the virtual impression of the physical IM nail implant inside the target, the virtual impression of the physical drill gun, and the coordinates of the one or more holes;
positioning, the virtual impression of the physical drill gun over the virtual impression of the physical IM nail implant inside the target;
aligning, the virtual impression of the physical drill gun over the one or more holes based on the coordinates of the one or more holes registered within the virtual assistance device, wherein the aligning, guides movement of the physical drill gun over the target in real-time;
performing, through the physical drill gun, one or more surgical steps over the target based on the aligning.
