An augmented reality interventional system which provides contextual overlays (116) to assist or guide a user (101) or enhance the performance of the interventional procedure by the user that uses an interactive medical device (102) to perform the interventional procedure. The system includes a graphic processing module (110) that is configured to generate at least one contextual overlay on an augmented reality display device system (106). The contextual overlays may identify a component (104) or control of the interactive medical device. The contextual overlays may also identify steps of a procedure to be performed by the user and provide instructions for performance of the procedure. The contextual overlays may also identify a specific region of the environment to assist or guide the user or enhance the performance of the interventional procedure by identifying paths or protocols to reduce radiation exposure.
