    Abstract: A disposable tool suitable for use in orthopedic alignment comprises a sensor (101) communicatively coupled to the wand (102) to register points of interest on a first and second bone and transmit location data related to the points of interest to the sensor (101) to assess orthopedic alignment with the points of interest. A display via a wireless connection to the tool reports and visually displays alignment information in real-time. The wand (102) and the sensor (101) each have at least two ultrasonic transducers. The wand (102) has a housing fits in a hand and includes a tip (134) for identifying and registering a location. The wand (101) can be attached to a mount in a predetermined position within the surgical field during a portion of the alignment procedure. Sensor (101) and wand (102) remain within the surgical field throughout the surgery and are disposed of after use in surgery.

    Abstract: A system and method of touchless interaction is provided for resolving a pivot point of an object where direct placement of a sensor at the pivot point is not practical. It applies to situations where the pivot point of a rigid object is inaccessible but remains stationary, while the other end is free to move and is accessible. The system maps the object's pivot point by way of an external sensor that detects constrained motion of the rigid object within a hemispherical banded boundary. It can also detect a geometric pattern and acceleration during the constrained motion to compensate for higher order rotations about the pivot point. Other embodiments are disclosed.
