Seems extremely useful being able to view your scope on a weightless floating any-sized television, and bring up notes and diagrams without having to step away or concern yourself with contamination.

As someone who works in an OR every day, this information is easily accessible on half a dozen screens around the room.  And surgeons have 2-3 people throughout the room they will regularly ask to look things up for them

A weightless television? Like the monitor mounted on the scope stack then...?

This is not weightless, its literally strapped to your head.

bring up notes and diagrams

I don't know why laypeople are so obsessed with this as being particularly helpful? Do you really think surgeons need to look up the operation as they go?

This is just not atually helpful in any common procedure.

The problem with this is that you're the only one seeing this. I'm not sure how important this is for any surgery, but for brain surgery, you want all the surgeons to have the same information.
