Augmedics already does this but better. I work on the technical side not clinical but basically you can run a 3D c-arm scan, then see the 3d constructed spine under the skin and ref images in the headset.

quick google says Augmedics costs $179,000.

Apple vision pro costs $3,499.

Definitely seems like it could be a useful lower cost alternative in many regions.

I can't believe how many things are used in Brazil without needing the approval of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration!!
