- US surgeon says Apple Vision Pro could give doctors superpowers by delivering critical information during operations.
- Mixed reality provides synchronous, real-time data in the operating room to help guide procedures.
- Spatial computing lets surgeons view virtual displays without looking away, controlled by eyes, hands, and voice.
- Apple Vision Pro launches early next year in the US, priced at $3,499, with a fully three-dimensional user interface.
According to a surgeon in the United States, Apple’s recently announced mixed-reality headset ‘Vision Pro‘ has the potential to provide doctors with “superpowers.”
According to WMTW TV station network, Dr Rafael Grossmann, a general surgeon with a background in robotic surgery and the first to live-stream a surgery using Google Glass, believes the Apple Vision Pro could be very useful during an operation when information is critical to a patient’s survival.
“Within the operating room, you’re gathering data in mixed reality that’s helping you do the procedure in real-time, synchronously,” Grossman was quoted as saying.
“You won’t have to turn your head to see where you can bring the computer.” “That’s what we call spatial computing,” he continues.
According to the report, the surgeon also hopes that Apple‘s new headset will improve on existing technology by moving data, notes, and displays from other medical devices to a virtual display.
Apple unveiled the ‘Vision Pro’ headset earlier this month, which seamlessly blends the digital world with the real one around us.
Apple Vision Pro, priced at $3,499, will be available early next year, beginning in the United States.
Vision Pro features a fully three-dimensional user interface that can be controlled by the user’s eyes, hands, and voice.
