US Patent 9763747 Systems and methods for customizing interactive virtual boundaries

A method for customizing an interactive control boundary includes identifying a reference feature associated with a virtual implant model, wherein the reference feature is one of a point, a line, a plane, and a surface associated with a virtual implant model. The method further includes determining an intersection between the identified reference feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient. The method further includes generating a virtual control boundary based on the determined intersection between the identified reference feature associated with the virtual implant model and the virtual model associated with the anatomy of the patient.
