A computerized visual orientation surgery assist system and method receives initial anatomic image information of a patient scan taken at a registration position of the patient receives initial positional information from a sensor positioned on the patient at a registration position, where the positional sensor senses spatial position in three dimensions and transmits the positional information establishes the initial positional information as an origin in three-dimensional space for the initial anatomic image information displays a visual representation of the initial anatomic image information on a computerized display receives subsequent positional information from the sensor associated with movement of the patient and updates the computerized display to reflect the subsequent positional information with respect to the initial positional information.
