Plus I would imagine a huge benefit is that you can use the UI for this without needing to physically touch anything that would get your hands contaminated or get the device dirty either. Pretty amazing stuff!

What would be really cool is if you can start to place virtual stereoscopic and volumetric displays over a patient. That way you were not just getting sterility, you were getting access to better visualization.

I’m sure as this type of AR tech evolves that’s the kind of thing we’ll see. It’s pretty cool.

Apple Vision is not the game changer, it’s an expensive dev kit. The tech still needs to shrink quite a bit.
