1. A system for guiding percutaneous insertion of a needle by a user into a patient, comprising:
an augmented reality display configured to depict a virtual ultrasound image of a portion of the patient and configured to depict a holographic needle guide on the patient based upon selection of a reference point in the virtual ultrasound image;
a physical ultrasound probe;
a physical needle insertion guide disposed on the physical ultrasound probe and configured to indicate at least one predetermined insertion point on the patient to the user, wherein the physical needle insertion guide is a physical template configured to be placed on the patient; and
a computer having a processor and a memory, the memory including non-transitory processor-executable instructions directing the augmented reality display to display the holographic needle guide on the patient based upon selection of the reference point in the virtual ultrasound image of the portion of the patient, the holographic needle guide displaying a trajectory for the needle to the reference point wherein the trajectory is independent of a position of the needle, wherein the holographic needle guide is adjustable in real-time during the procedure by at least one of the user and a remote user, and after adjustment the holographic needle guide is configured to be stamped in a virtually locked position.
