Systems, methods and software are provided for aiding in positioning of a camera relative to objects in a surgical environment. The camera has a 3D field of view7 and senses positions of the objects in the field of view. A controller is coupled to the camera and defines a first zone and a second zone within the field of view. Each zone defines a range of acceptable positions for one of the objects relative to a position of the camera. The controller receives the position of the objects, A graphical user interface displays image representations of: the field of view7, the first zone relative to the field of view, the second zone relative to the field of view7, the position of one object relative to the first zone, and the position of another object relative to the second zone. |
