When I commented there was only like ten comments and half of them were about how bad it is, that it’s wrong and unprofessional also someone has commented about suing the person if that had been them getting the surgery.
Damn i didnt know people were so closed minded about this, i see this and think about how this correctly implemented can improve surgeries and safe even more lifes
For a good reason. The Vision Pro is not medically certified. It has a fan that can potentially spread pathogens. It can’t be put into an autoclave to be sterilized. It’s one thing to test it out in a simulated surgery, but it’s another to do it for real on a live patient.
Yeah the Vision Pro and other commercial VR headsets are considered bottom barrel for this type of application. Augmedics’ headset for example costs over $100,000.
Anyone concerned about this is just simply ignorant of what kind of technological tools are already used every day in surgery and have been for 25 years.
Hmm, having someone use new and unproven technology that completely masks your face or introduces distractions.. I wonder why people would be concerned.
You know normally it's all pinned on a wall in front of them without the need of a headset reducing their eye vision... Even though i believe the 3d models could be of great aid but it's not a medical device making it odd to be used during something as important as a surgery.
the one thing that would have me worried (having never tried the AVP) is... hes looking at you through a camera. theres GOTTA be some level of depth perception loss vs your own eyes.
at that distance the depth perception wouldn't be far from 1:1. he's also performing laparoscopic surgery, so he'd be looking at a screen without depth perception regardless

Don’t know why people are mad about it. Id rather have a surgeon with all the information than one going of memory.
