Customization of overlay data and configuration

A method of distributing information between members of a surgical team may include: receiving, by a modular control tower, imaging data from a plurality of imaging devices; receiving, by the modular control tower, device-related data from each of the plurality of intelligent surgical instruments; associating, by the modular control tower, a display device with a member of the surgical team; defining, by the modular control tower, a functional role of the member of the surgical team; and displaying, by the modular control tower, an augmented reality display through the display device. The augmented reality display on the display device may include a virtual object that is based on the imaging data, the device-related data, the functional role of the member of the surgical team, and a surgical activity of the member of the surgical team. An interactive surgical system may implement the method. 本发明涉及一种在外科团队的成员之间分发信息的方法，该方法可包括：由模块化控制塔接收来自多个成像装置的成像数据；由该模块化控制塔接收来自多个智能外科器械中的每个智能外科器械的装置相关数据；由该模块化控制塔将显示装置与该外科团队的成员相关联
