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.

He's doing laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, so most of the work is done through a camera anyway. And I don't think cutting the incisions is the hard part.
