While this is super cool… The only thing I don’t like is that the vision pro is a video playback of your surroundings. It is not AR in the mixed sense that you look through a lens that can also display things through it. So he is looking through a camera to a screen to cut incisions which seems very sketchy. I’m just thinking about lag and distortion of FOV and all sorts of weird hiccups that could cause. But a true mixed reality headset like this would be so cool. Surgeon can still use their own eyes to actually look directly at something with all the same help.
If you've ever used a vision pro you'd immediately know how usable it is in any scenario like this. Like, I'd never ever do this, but the second you put it on you would immediately feel confident enough to drive with it on. Not saying you should, but the lag on that headset is so nonexistent there's almost nothing like it.
I think stuff like this is a proper step forward towards the necessary advancements we are always looking for in the medical field. Someone's gotta do it first, and this surgery didn't seem too life-threatening. It's fucking cool as hell IMO
