Apple Vision Pro virtual displays may help in surgeries

3 years ago by Muddybulldog to c/apple_enthusiast

The Apple Vision Pro may be beneficial in medicine, a surgeon suggests, with the mixed-reality headset potentially helping by providing vital data during surgery.

This is the type of use case that justifies the $3499 price tag.

In theory, I completely agree. In practice, the idea of a surgeon operating on myself or a loved one, with a headset strapped to their face and observing everything through a series of cameras, is terrifying.

I’m not sure how long it’ll be before the public trust is present in technology like this to the point that’ll be okay. I think we’ll get there, but not with the first generation.
