A system adapted for supporting workflow in a three-dimensional space which provides, among other things, hands-free control and adjustment of lighting within the three-dimensional space. The system of the present invention is also adapted for delivering, tracking, and retrieving tools in the three-dimensional space. The system of the present invention includes various subsystems, which are referred to herein as modules, that both act independently and co-dependently, as will be described in greater detail below, in conjunction with a central control computer module. The modules consist, in an exemplary embodiment, of the cable robot module, the central computer module, the imaging module, the illumination module, and the object manipulator module.
